Home Feeling explores relations between West Indian Canadians and police in the Toronto public housing environment. A man is sent to jail for an alleged altercation with the police, despite his steady job and lack of a previous record. A close friend describes what he feels is daily police harassment and unfair treatment in the courts.

The Jane-Finch "Corridor" is an area of six square blocks in Toronto's North York. To the residents of Metro Toronto, the Corridor evokes images of vandalism, high-density subsidized housing, racial tension, despair and crime. By focusing intimately on the lives of several of the residents, many of them Blacks or members of other visible minorities, and their relationship with police, social service agencies, and other major institutions that affect their lives, the film provides a powerful view of a community that, contrary to its popular image, is working towards a more positive future.
