Ep. No. 03 The Horror of Residential Schools + Ep. No. 05 Student Riot at Sir George Williams University. This 10-part series features ten little-known and understood episodes from Quebec and Canada’s history. These chapters from our shared past are told from the perspectives of under-represented players in the story in a dynamic and irreverent voice. The series is a first step towards building a collective history that features all voices. The Horror of Residential Schools tells the story of how BIPOC children were taken from their homes in an attempt to assimilate them and erase their culture over a period of more than 150 years. Student Riot at Sir George Williams University focuses on the 1969 student riot in response to a professor’s systematic discrimination against afro-descendant students. Directed by Ky Vy Le Duc and hosted by Vanessa Destiné, Youssef Shoufan and Maïtée Labrecque-Saganash.
