This documentary is a profile of Pauline Riley, a Winnipeg community organizer and anti-poverty activist who works for the Manitoba Action Committee on the Status of Women. This is part of the sub-series FIGHTING BACK, a series of profiles of anti-poverty activists in Canada. She takes Elizabeth Gray on a tour of poor areas of Winnipeg, including Selkirk Avenue, where a lot of retail businesses were closed down and houses are boarded up, and a night-time community patrol to help prostitutes on the streets. Subjects discussed include: her unsuccessful attempt to get elected to city council; her finances; the importance of political action; funding cuts to advocacy groups; fragmentation in the anti-poverty movement; the need for a long-term strategy by anti-poverty groups; the need for people to vote in order to try to change what politicians do; and people not voting because of cynicism about politics. Other actuality includes actuality of a meeting she chairs, to discuss holding an national conference. Of the 59 people invited, only six people have shown up. This begins and concludes with a discussion between Avril Benoît and Elizabeth Gray. <21mn 23s>
