To commemorate Black History Month and acknowledge Oakville’s Treaty Day, the Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton and Debwewin Oakville have partnered for a joint film screening on February 28th.
This event will be the premiere of two film series:
Legacy Voices 2: New Generation showcases the Black experience through the firsthand accounts of four individuals as they discuss their experiences of living in the Halton Region and explore how they will leave a legacy. This is a follow-up to the award-winning documentary Legacy Voices.
The Debwewin Oakville Truth Series is a collection of videos which explores the themes of reciprocity and reconciliation through three separate perspectives; our connection to the land, the recognition of historical treaties and our connections with one another.
The event will feature the two screenings and will be followed by a live Q & A moderated by Oakville Festival of Film and Art’s Wendy Donnan.
