What happens when capitalism and charity intersect? From Wall Street to life on the street, The Invisible Heart tracks the birth of one of the fastest growing social innovations in modern history: social impact bonds. An unorthodox marriage between government services and private-sector investments, this burgeoning financial model promises to solve society’s most complex problems, from crime to homelessness—but is it delivering? Set in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K, this compelling documentary follows the unlikely people banding together to battle social inequality.
Director Nadine Pequeneza will moderate a post-screening panel with Brigitte Witkowski (Mainstay Housing), Cameron Graham (Schulich School of Business), Denise Amyot (CICan) and Luisa Quarta (OPSEU).
Presented by Indiecan Entertainment, Telefilm and the Rogers Group of Funds through the Theatrical Documentary Program in association with The Invisible Heart Screening Partners.
