This year, REEL CANADA is offering a compelling way to use Canadian films to cover urgent topics such as inequality and racism in your class. By participating in our Anti-Racism Programme, you’ll get FREE access to:
- Canadian films that will be discussed in the livestreams (see below)
- Additional list of “Bonus Films” that can be used to extend learning
- Lesson plans that connect films and topics to the curriculum
- Resources on how to discuss sensitive content for teachers and students
- Three separate opportunities to engage & discuss with filmmakers and peers:
- Nov 25: interactive livestream on Anti-Black racism with filmmaker Charles Officer (The Skin We’re In)
- Dec 1: interactive livestream on Anti-Indigenous racism in Canada with filmmaker Sarain Fox (RISE)
- April 2021: interactive livestream on the intersection of Black and Indigenous realities, discussing differences and similarities through a Canadian lens
This programme is completely modular: choose a single resource/activity, or do them all! All resources and events are suitable for remote or in-class use, for grades 9 and above. Best of all, everything is completely FREE OF CHARGE.
