"A Way Out" is a documentary examining efforts to escape poverty in Regent Park, Toronto's oldest and largest low-income housing community. The film explores the realities of growing up poor in North America, contrasting the journeys of those who successfully break free from poverty with those who remain trapped. Christene Browne, a former resident, returns to reconnect with old friends and understand their lives. Through a combination of formal and candid interviews, alongside archival footage and photographs, the documentary offers an intimate portrait of the community.
