Invisible City is a 2009 documentary film by Hubert Davis about young Black Canadian men at risk in Toronto's Regent Park district. Davis spent three years filming two boys in their final years of high school.[1]

The primary subjects of the film are Kendell and Mikey, students at Nelson Mandela Park Public School.[2] Invisible City follows their struggles with academic and behavioral issues, and their sense of futility.[3]

Invisible City is produced by Industry Pictures/Shine Films in co-production with the National Film Board of Canada.[4]
