How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Discussing Race - Jay Smooth 

Stories of Decolonization: Land Dispossession and Settlement 
"Stories of Decolonization is a multi-film interview-based documentary project that shares personal stories in order to explore accessible understandings of colonialism and its continued impact on those living on the lands now called Canada. Stories of Decolonization: Land Dispossession and Settlement is the first short film of the series, focusing specifically on stories of personal and ancestral connections to these lands."
