Description: Observes the day-to-day life of a family living in Montreal in order to probe the meaning of poverty in Canada. There is the trouble with the police, the begging for stale bread at the convent, the birth of another child, and the father who explains his family's predicament. Although filmed in Montréal, this is the anatomy of poverty as it occurs in North America, seen by a camera that became part of the family's life for several weeks. A sequel to this film was made in 1986, under the title 'Courage to Change', showing what happend to the Bailey family 18 years later.
