Join us Friday, September 4 for a special, free community screening of True North: Canadian Myths and Black Power,  a powerful documentary by Michèle Stephenson on Montréal’s Civil Rights Movement. The film will be followed by a Q&A with the director.

Through never-before-seen archives and the voices of those who lived through the tumultuous period of 1960s Montreal, True North explores pivotal events that shaped the global movement for Black liberation by centering the Congress of Black Writers and the Sir George Williams Affair.

True North interweaves accounts of a little-known historical chapter in the Black Power movement that impacted the struggle for Black liberation across the globe and resonates with today’s movements for change.
