Carts of Darkness from Murray Siple on Vimeo.
Murray Siple is best known for his revolutionary snowboard videos in the mid to late 90s. After a car accident left him a quadriplegic in 1996 he took a step away from the camera. After a ten year hiatus he is back with Carts of Darkness.
"In the picture-postcard community of North Vancouver, filmmaker Murray Siple follows men who have turned bottle-picking, their primary source of income, into the extreme sport of shopping cart racing. Enduring hardships from everyday life on the streets of Vancouver, this sub-culture depicts street life as much more than stereotypes portrayed in mainstream media. The films takes a deep look into the lives of the men who race carts, the adversity they face, and the appeal of cart racing despite the risk."
