(June 2024 update) The main character Ray has passed away from a drug overdose. After discussions with his family, we have added a memoriam at the end of the film. HIS NAME IS RAY puts a face on the growing homelessness and opioid crises. After special presentations at TIFF and HOT DOCS, the documentary is now looking for Regional and European Premieres as well as distribution. Ray once had everything. A job that he loved with the Coast Guard. The father to a family. But his addiction took it all away. Now, the former sailor lives on the streets of Toronto with an entire population that seems to have just fallen through the cracks. With a remarkably compassionate and intimate lens, the audience follows Ray on his precarious journey to get off the streets and back on the water, wherein the ultimate achievement of the oblivion he craves—he could just sail away from it all
