Poor No More is a feature documentary about Canadians who are worrying about how to make ends meet.
Our host, film and television star Mary Walsh (as seen in "This Hour Has 22 Minutes"), takes our characters to see how poverty has been reduced in Ireland and Sweden and how it might be reduced in Canada.
They discover a world where people do not have to beg, where housing is affordable and university education is free.
The message is of critical importance and the timing is perfect. As the economic meltdown threatens, people are looking for solutions. Poor No More is the first film to explain the roots of this economic crisis, its impact on working Canadians, and what can be done about it.
