| Summary: | There is an army in the city's mean streets. Its foe is poverty and human misery. Salvation is a behind-the-scenes look at the frontline workers who serve the needy under the umbrella of the Salvation Army. One of the world's largest social agencies, the Salvation Army is a religious institution that believes religion is of no use to anyone who is hungry, homeless, and hopeless. Directed by filmmaker Rosemary House, this documentary offers a glimpse into the hearts and minds of people on both sides of the street--those who help and those who need help. Shot in downtown Toronto at Christmastime, this moving documentary chronicles the small hopes and tiny victories of life lived in the shadows of destitution and the daily rewards for those who work to serve others.
