Journey to justice
Made in 2000, this documentary pays tribute to a group of Canadians who took racism to court. Featured here, among others, are Viola Desmond, a woman who insisted on keeping her seat at the Roseland movie theatre in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia in 1946 rather than moving to the section normally reserved for the city's Black population, and Fred Christie, who took his case to the Supreme Court after being denied service at a Montreal tavern in 1936.

CSI member Nourish is working to fix broken systems that treat food simply as a commodity to be traded rather than fully valuing its healing impacts for people, communities, place, culture, and the planet.

We’re proud to support the work they’re doing, excited to see them come this far, and eager to see what they accomplish in the future!
