Film Description: "Many Black, racialized and immigrant women work with elderly patients as healthcare providers. Their jobs, already arduous and underpaid as it is, have become even more exhausting during the COVID-19 pandemic. While some public commentators have described them as overrepresented in this sector because of their culture, and hailed them as 'guardian angels,' what do they themselves have to say? This cross-sectional portrait of some of these women takes the form of a meditative essay." -- National Film Board of Canada (source) |
