Mayor David Miller was among the special guests at last night’s sold-out Hot Docs premier of Listen To This, a film about a Jane & Finch music program funded through the City’s Arts in the Hood program. Young songwriting proteges Jasmine (left) and Whitney (right) are two of the stars of the film, which left the audience enthralled and inspired. “Toronto is an amazing film city and Hot Docs gives us an opportunity not only to discover cinema from around the globe, but also to see and celebrate our own stories,” said the mayor.
