Scarborough is the Canadian film adaptation of writer Catherine Hernandez’s award-winning and critically acclaimed novel of the same name.

Scarborough explores the struggles, endurance, and resilience of this culturally diverse Toronto community through the lives of three kids growing up within a system that has set them up for failure. Filmed on location in the Kingston-Galloway/West Hill neighbourhood, Scarborough takes place over the course of a school year.
