I watched this documentary because I walk past this building most days, so I was curious to find out more about the building and its issues. But I would have prefered a version of this documentary that was half an hour long, desribing the 'fight' between longtime building renters and the new owners of the building, a foreign company.
I had to laugh at the representative of the Dutch company that was interviewed by the creators of the documentary - and I wonder if he was fired for how bad he made the carpet bagging owners look.
It was sad to hear how the long time superintendent family was fired and forced out of the building where they had lived and worked for years - with a one week eviction notice (which is standard for superintendents in Ontario (they have almost no protection from eviction) - and they were fired after talking about unsafe asbestos removal procedure in the basement.
You'll probably find this doc interesting if you are a tenant who is interested in the battle between tenants and building owners.
