  • The Black Experience:Then and Now

    The Black Experience:Then and Now
    Jun 2 2025
    The Black Experience: Then and Now is an audio documentary that explores the diverse realities of anti-Black racism in Canada through the voices of three Black Canadians. Recorded in 2020 during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, this powerful piece includes raw audio from protests in the nation's capital and highlights how racism shows up in both overt and subtle ways.

    Now, after several years, it's finally making its way to streaming platforms. Challenging the myth of a singular Black narrative, this documentary offers a necessary reflection on the complexities of Black identity and the urgent need for a deeper understanding of systemic racism in Canada.
