Us and Them is a visceral documentary about transformation through human connection. Filmmaker Krista Loughton sets out to chronicle four Victoria homeless people in an effort to help them heal their lives. Feeling out of her league, Krista seeks out the counsel Dr. Gabor Mat, who forces her to confront her own motivations. Krista confesses her own struggles with depression with the people she is documenting. They display an extraordinary empathy and wisdom no one could have anticipated. We come to understand there is no difference between Us and Them -- there's only Us.
