Permit Garden

A migrant worker's pursuit of ‘The Canadian Dream’ takes a ​nightmarish turn as he uncovers an unsightly truth in the Ontarian ​agricultural industry. His quest for a better life in Canada unfolds through his own words and from his daughter’s perspective in this poignant family portrait. The film exposes the harsh exploitation and dismal working conditions Ontario’s migrant farm workers endure, while at the same time celebrating the resilience of the human spirit as it is manifested in one man’s battle for justice.

The Canadian Dream

In a modern take of Miguel de Unamuno's 1930's novel "San Martín Bueno, martir", where a priest loses faith in god, "Times of Insurrection" tells the story of the CEO of a global corporation who starts to lose faith in capitalism after a mysterious external pressure forces him to change his company forever. In this slick short film, we witness the CEO of a dairy corporation cause a great deal ofdiscomfort and uneasiness in his annual shareholder’s meeting by talking about things that are‘just not discussed’. Things like: corporate responsibility and environmental impact. It might beokay to talk about these things…but will he do anything? It’s fun to watch this scenario play outand to see how nervous it makes the shareholders. Enjoy the uneasiness for a while.
