<h3>TRUE NORTH</h3>
Directed by Michèle Stephenson
TRUE NORTH journeys into 1960s Montreal, tracing a pivotal period of Black resistance through the 1968 Congress of Black Writers and the Sir George Williams Affair. Through archival footage and first-person testimony, filmmaker Michèle Stephenson connects Black struggles in Canada with movements across the Caribbean and the United States, revealing a history of resistance, solidarity, and collective action that crossed borders.
<h3>FILMMAKER-TO-FILMMAKER CONVERSATION</h3>
Following the screening, Michèle Stephenson joins filmmaker Alain Martin, director of The Forgotten Occupation, for a filmmaker-to-filmmaker conversation about the making of TRUE NORTH.
