Come meet the inhabitants of Jib Camp. A homeless camp in Stanley Park in Vancouver, B.C. Fueled by crystal meth, the ... all ยป inhabitants come alive at night, cycling around the city and park foraging for food, and anything they can trade for crystal. Meet James, self proclaimed jibmaster of the park, and his friendly apprentice ,Ian . Both depending on each other to watch each other's back and to help each other through the rough times. All seen through the eyes of Matt, a youth at risk who lives on his brother's couch, but walks the fine line between addiction and homelessness . Matt has even chosen a hollowed out old growth tree as a future home and seems to look up to Jibmaster James as a father figure. Between the fierce cold of decembers foggy freeze, thieving raccoons, and the parks board we see that being homeless is a full time job. And humiliation is humiliation only when you choose to suffer
