The Agony of Jimmy Quinlan
Author(s):
This documentary follows Jimmy Quinlan, one of some 5000 men and women who have abandoned their jobs and families to live in the streets and alleys in Montreal. This film, a powerful portrayal of life on skid row, tells of Jimmy's "agonies," especially his attempt to get off the bottle. It's something he's tried before and will probably have to try again.
