The Benevolents (Les bienveillants)

The Benevolents (Les bienveillants) takes us into the world of Tel-Aide Montreal call centre, as we follow a group of future volunteers.

Why do we work the way we do, and for what? In March 2020, our lives were rocked by a global pandemic. We were ushered inside, confined to four walls, estranged from loved ones, and told to wait in limbo. We could not hug our parents, hold newborn babies, console loved ones, celebrate or grieve. But we managed to find new traditions. We supported small businesses, made noise for healthcare workers, walked with friends, told people we love them more often, and slowed down to remember what and who matter most: our loved ones, health, community, and frontline workers. While frontline workers were keeping the province alive and well, they were in danger of falling victim to the coronavirus. The pandemic unearthed and exacerbated the endemic fault lines in our system. No paid sick days. Migrant worker deaths. Profit over the elderly in nursing homes. An unequal burden of disease on Black communities. A lack of power for workers to speak out.

Fault Lines

Workers in sectors hardest hit by COVID make us question the fault lines endemic to our system.

Princeville, NC is the first town incorporated by freed, formerly enslaved Africans in America. This historical significance sits on a precipice: It is gradually being washed away. Princeville sits atop wet, swampy land along the Tar River in North Carolina. In the 1800s this land was disregarded and deemed uninhabitable by white people. After the Civil War, this indifference left it available for newly freed, formerly-enslaved Africans to settle it. Before its incorporation, residents called it ‘Freedom Hill,’ gradually establishing a self-sufficient, all Black town. Resting along the floodplain of the river, Princeville and its residents are not strangers to adversity. The historical town has been inundated with flooding over the centuries. With each flood, a little more of the small town erodes. In 1999, two hurricanes hit North Carolina only ten days apart. The first, Hurricane Dennis, brought about 8 inches of rain, but the storm that followed, Hurricane Floyd, kept the town underwater for 11 days. Marquetta Dickens was only 13 years old in 1999, but she still remembers the fear she felt the eve of the flood, particularly because when her family had to evacuate, her grandmother wasn’t able to leave with them. Dickens’ grandmother, Delia Perkins, was the mayor during Hurricane Floyd and had to stay behind to make sure all residents made it to safety. ‘Freedom Hill’ explores the environmental racism that is washing away the town of 2,000, through the lens of Marquetta, who recently moved back to North Carolina after learning more about her family lineage through a DNA testing service.&nbsp; She traced her lineage in Princeville back to the late 1800s where her great-great-grandmother, Maggie Perkins, was the only woman listed as a property owner in the 1900 U.S. Census. Shortly after her discovery, Marquetta founded The Freedom Organization in her hometown, where she is working to get Princeville registered as an official historical place–hoping that the national recognition will create outrage for what is happening in the small town. Princeville would flood again, just 17 years after Hurricane Floyd, displacing some folks who were just beginning to recover from Hurricane Floyd.&nbsp; The environmental issues that Black and poor communities face are often not by chance but are often man-made and preventable. Most people have yet to connect the dots of climate change, race, and poverty. A film series showcasing who will be impacted by climate change, how and why, will force our country to understand what is at stake. Climate change is a Black issue. Our history is at stake. Our communities are literally being washed away. This film&nbsp;uncovers the continuing legacy of racism in the U.S. and how the refusal to reckon with its own history still impacts and extends into the lives and lands of Black Americans. The documentary series uses personal narratives to examine what that responsibility, and lack thereof, looks like and challenges viewers to fight against environmental racism, climate change, and history erosion.

Freedom Hill

Freedom Hill is a short documentary exploring the environmental racism washing away the town of Princeville.

Q&amp;A with Natasha Luckhardt (producer) and Tiana Fernandes (film participant) Natasha Luckhardt&nbsp;is a labour advocate, filmmaker and writer. A family friend told her that former General Electric workers in Peterborough, Ontario were “dropping like flies” from cancer and after writing a Master’s thesis on the issue, she thought, these workers need to be seen. Natasha started a crowdfunding initiative, teamed up with Peterborough local Rob Viscardis, and filmed in the community for three years. The film,&nbsp;Town of Widows, aired on CBC Docs and had its world premiere at the ReFrame Film Festival. Now the Director of Health, Safety and Environment at the Ontario Federation of Labour, Natasha takes an intersectional approach to health and safety and strongly believes in the power of workers telling their stories. You can see that power in the film&nbsp;Fault Lines,&nbsp;premiering at the ReFrame Festival this year.&nbsp;&nbsp; Tiana Fernandes Is a grade 8 student from MAZO de la Roche public school. When not volunteering in her community she spends her time fighting for equality and justice by being a member of Model UN and other politically and socially involved clubs. One day aspiring to go to Yale and be Prime Minister of Canada, Tiana’s main goal is to show the previous generations that this one is more than social media, will lead the world to brighter future and most of all showcasing that this generation is a force to be reckoned with because we are growing up resilient.
