Most Likely To...

River Park Church - 3818 14a St SW, Calgary, AB
FREE Admission

justREEL is a bi-monthly feature length documentary series. Now in its twelveth year, this series runs from September to May. 

Children are not born criminals. And one city is making sure of that.

Most Likely To… is a look at the Calgary Police Service’s approach to youth at-risk crime prevention through intervention, education, and most importantly, human connection.

Disruptive. Defiant. Dangerous. Everyone remembers that one kid in their class unanimously voted most likely to end up behind bars. If we know that kids need help, then why aren’t we helping them? Most Like To… follows the lives of Kevin and Timmy, 8 and 18, over the course of a year as they fight for a better life than they were born into. With the help of CPS, Kevin and Timmy realize that their future doesn’t have to be decided by their past.
