Listen in as we speak with Italian filmmaker Ruggero Romano who has called Vancouver home since 2016. After witnessing the struggle of homelessness, poverty and addiction in his adopted city, he was moved to make a film about the inhabitants of postal code V6A: the area commonly known as the Downtown Eastside.
In the search for truth and authenticity, the film explores human nature in its fight against the toughest, often man-made odds by questioning the definition of “Home”.
Designed to challenge expectations and inspire locals to think about their fellow citizens in a new light, V6A is also an unexpected celebration of the resilience and beauty of the human spirit.

About Ruggero
Native to the European province of Piedmont in Italy, Ruggero Romano is a documentary filmmaker, content creator and radio show host based in Vancouver. As the founder of Poetic Journalism, Ruggero dedicates himself to authentic stories that embrace the patterns of Humanity, and vies eagerly to encapsulate all its beauties in his controversial thought-provoking films.
If you ever spot him, he will likely be waving his arms every which way speaking randomized Italian phrases. Quite loudly as well. He likes to be ever so provocative, a word in conversation with him is not only hammered home, but nailed to the front door in great enthusiasm and frivolity. A keen traveler of both the world and the mind who owns an unwavering demeanor. He simply loves Life! biography by Villiam Chahal
