A Bus - For Us is a fascinating look at grassroots activism in suburban Ottawa during the early '70s. Rex Tasker captures the essence of a community that, frustrated by the inadequacies of public transportation, decides to take matters into their own hands. The pacing is unhurried, allowing the viewer to soak in the challenges and triumphs of these residents. The documentary feels very intimate, drawing you into the lives of the people involved. There's an authenticity in the practical effects, like the old buses and the makeshift routes they create. You see real performances from real people, which lends an air of authenticity that’s often lost in more polished productions. Definitely a distinctive piece reflecting a unique moment in civic engagement.
