In the Gutter and Other Good Places offers a raw, unfiltered look into the life of three dumpster diving bottle pickers in Calgary.

Christine Richey’s direction captures the gritty realism of their existence, with a tone that’s both somber and enlightening. The pacing meanders, reflecting the slow rhythms of life on the fringe.
