LOCAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL (in partnership with Sheridan Alumni)
Rating PG.
Short films from Oakville, Sheridan College and surrounding communities. This screening will include a Q&A to follow live with filmmakers.
Canada is a known nation that embraces and accepts everything and anyone. People outside and living in Canada may not know the dark history of racism that is hidden. Minority groups such as the Black and Latino communities are often heavily discriminated upon. In this film, Noah GodfreyLopez is a bi-racial, Black and Latino, young adult who explores his dads and step-dads stories and connects it to his own experiences. Rohan Godfrey recounts his story of being choked out by an Italian student and nothing being done about it. As for Victor (Henry) Ramirez having being accused for being a drug dealer because he was able to buy food from his High School cafeteria. Both stories illustrate the prejudice in Canada, and unfortunately now in the modern era, Noah is experiencing similar problems despite it being 30-40 years later.
