HIS NAME IS RAY puts a face on the growing fentanyl and homeless crises’, not through statistics or sweeping generalizations, but through the eyes of a man whose life has spiralled out of control. Ray once had it all — serving in the Coast Guard, a father, a husband, a man with a purpose. But his addiction took it all away. Now, the former sailor lives on the streets of Toronto with an entire population that has fallen through the cracks. With a remarkably intimate lens, the audience follows Ray on his precarious journey to get off the streets and back on the water, where in the ultimate achievement of the oblivion he craves—he could just sail away from it all. After compelling audiences at TIFF and HOT DOCS, HIS NAME IS RAY has resonated across the globe, winning the Special Jury Prize at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival. [Taken from YT description]
