Christene A. Browne, a renowned filmmaker, hails from St. Kitts and later settled in Regent Park, Canada's oldest and largest low-income community, in 1970. Her passion for video-making led her to actively participate in the Regent Park Video Workshop Project, eventually becoming its leader. Browne's journey continued as she pursued her film education at Ryerson University. Notably, Browne made history by being the first African-Canadian woman to produce, direct and write a dramatic feature film, "Another Planet." In 2007, she accomplished the documentary series "Speaking in Tongues: The History of Language," which delves into the evolution of language from ancient times to the present. Browne's exceptional work earned her the Documentary Filmmaker prize at the Women's International Film and Television Showcase Visionary Awards in 2011. Currently, she resides in Toronto with her three children.

What happens when the largest redevelopment in North America dismantles the place where social housing began? Will the community and its residents ever be the same? Farewell Regent is a 90-minute documentary that captures the Regent Park community of downtown Toronto (the place where social housing began in Canada) in the midst of the largest housing redevelopment project in North America. With this transition, it will go from a site of 100% social housing to a mixed-income community where condo units will outnumber the social housing units 4 to 1. The documentary profiles past and current tenants, city officials, developers and housing advocates to get an inside view of the complex issues, emotions and drama that are involved in such a massive redevelopment.
