This show:

Sharon Kravitz of the organising committee, Jamie of the Pigeon Park committee, Sam George with traditional welcome, Michelle Richards and Nightlife and Genetics. We are hoping to broadcast the whole festival on over the summer. Stay tuned.


Fearless TV is the result of the perseverance and hard work of volunteers of the Downtown Eastside Community Arts Network Film and Video cluster (CAN-FV). Fearless TV #5 is a one hour show going out to 670,000 cable boxes. Its broadcast shows what can be done in a few months by a group of dedicated people with minimal resources. The first meeting took place February 14 this year and we have used primarily community television resources available to everyone if they can access it.
