I love all the old stuff that was on kids television in the 90s, but one of the NFBs more recent projects really suck out to me. Carts of Darkness.

Murray Siple's feature-length documentary follows a group of homeless men who have combined bottle picking with the extreme sport of racing shopping carts down the steep hills of North Vancouver. This subculture shows that street life is much more than the stereotypes portrayed in mainstream media.

The film takes a deep look into the lives of the men who race carts, the adversity they face and the appeal of cart racing despite the risk. Shot in high-definition and featuring tracks from Black Mountain, Ladyhawk, Vetiver, Bison, and Alan Boyd of Little Sparta.

A mockumentary called Stupidity from 2003, by the Documentary channel, which the NFB was a part of.

Trivia moment: The original version of the music video for Rest In Peace by Extreme had segments shot in a very similar fashion, but evidently it was too similar. Since they didn't have permission beforehand they had to pull that version of the video from broadcast and replace it with this version.
