Canada, 2016 (documentary, 12 minutes, colour, English) |
Film Description: "For parents of teens across the country, a first driving lesson is a [rite] of passage, often inspiring a mixture of pride and trepidation. For Black Canadians like Danardo Jones and his son Deshaun, that trepidation assumes an added dimension, informed by the reality of systemic racism. How does a parent prepare their maturing child for the specific scrutiny that comes with navigating the world while Black? As a lawyer, Danardo is intimately familiar with the legal protections that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms provides, notionally, to all Canadians. But as a Black man, Danardo knows all too well that those protections can count for little when the system is rigged against you." -- CBC Short Docs (source) |
