Film Description:
"North Buxton, near Chatham, Ontario, has been a Black settlement since the middle of the last century, when it was one of the destinations of escaped slaves traveling north on the Underground Railroad. [Claire] Prieto and [Roger] McTair went to Buxton to record one year's 'homecoming,' and came back with a celebratory reminder of the long history blacks have had in Canada."
