When Night Falls in Toronto
June 15, 2026
The documentary features the Neon Riders of Toronto, decorating their bikes with colorful lights and heading out at night for a ride and a party. Then there’s 28-year-old Jill, who opts to spend the night catching raccoons instead of losing herself on a club dancefloor.
Or Quinn, who upholds the traditions of his Indigenous ancestors through painted constellations. And the guys from the Latino band ‘6ix Pal Mundo’, who are creating a new soundtrack for the city.
These are just a few of the many stories and moments in a film about a city that welcomes everyone, is beautiful but never pretentious, and doesn’t beg to be loved -- but is adored by its inhabitants. A place where entering the world’s largest underground pedestrian tunnel system can feel like taking a journey through several different continents.
Canada’s largest city lives up to its promise of being a thriving multicultural metropolis. Seven million people from over 230 nations live in the Greater Toronto Area. As most residents will tell you with pride, if you make the most of your opportunities, you can achieve anything here. One of the reasons why Toronto is arguably the fastest-growing city in North America. But that brings another set of problems: the number of homeless people has doubled within four years, to more than 15,000.
