Through the use of never-before-seen archives and the voices of those who lived through the tumultuous period of 1960s Montreal, True North explores the pivotal events of a moment that impacted the global movement for Black liberation, centering the Congress of Black Writers and the Sir George Williams Affair.
Archival footage is used to tell the stories of Black students and activists who lived through these events, interweaving 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.
In English and French, with English subtitles.
