    Whitewash

    • 2016
    • Nadine Valcin

    Whitewash examines slavery in Canada and its omission from the national narrative. The country prides itself as being the benevolent refuge where enslaved Africans who were brought to United States gained their freedom via the Underground Railroad. That powerful image overshadows the fact that slavery was legal in Canada for over 200 years under both French and British rule.

    Heartbreak

    • 2016
    • Nadine Valcin

    "Heartbreak" is a tribute to black mothers. It was written and produced in response to the constant threat of brutality they and their children (particularly boys) live under.

    ​"Heartbreak", Nadine Valcin, 2016, CFMDC
