TV
Fearless TV grew out of a workshop involving 30 DTES residents and artists that culminated in a three-camera mobile studio production at Gallery Gachet. Since then, dozens of hour-long broadcasts have aired on Shaw Television, reaching 600,000 homes throughout Metro Vancouver. The Fearless TV Cluster provides people living and working in the Downtown Eastside with opportunities to participate in the creation of a television program that reflects their community.
