IN DEVELOPMENT

 

 

 

   

In Toronto, Canada, an announcement is made that eight historic farmhouses and barns will be moved or demolished. An extension of the lucrative, private-sector toll highway, the 407, will cut a path through prime agricultural land. We follow the story from the moment the historic house announcement is made until the day the gleaming new expressway opens two years later. The 407 storyline is a springboard for examination of larger issues including private ownership versus public ownership of essential infrastructure, the dwindling of irreplaceable arable land due to unprecedented urban growth and the dangerous trend toward centralized and fragile food systems.

 

 

 
   

The film is about five young guys with MBAs and secure day jobs. But by night they are a wild punk band called the Piss Drunk Hooligans. PDH is loud, raunchy and very popular with teens and twenty-somethings. These five guys are living proof that rebelliousness and anarchy are alive and well and, really, not so bad. Part verité road movie and part cinematic concert film.
