True North: Canadian Myths and Black Power


Premiered July 06, 2026
Directed by Michèle Stephenson
How 1960s Montreal helped shape the global movement for Black liberation.
Through rare archival footage and firsthand accounts, True North revisits 1968 Montreal, where Black liberation movements converged at the Congress of Black Writers. As student protests ignited the Sir George Williams Affair, Black youth faced violent repression, unfolding a powerful chapter of the global Black Power era.

I highly recommend this. 👌
