Synopsis

Scuttling through the decrepit and impoverished city streets that comprise his only playground, a young boy lives in social peril. The stark, vérité, imagery reveals the alienating effects of urban neglect; places where nature has started to reclaim what society has squandered. Welcome was filmed on location in Winnipeg's crumbling and disenfranchised Chinatown district.
