The Canadian filmmaker's brief acceptance speech for best direction, factual, for his documentary "Oscar Peterson: Black + White" closed with the comment: "This is a testament that there are so many Black stories in Canada that need to be told. It doesn't matter who tells them; we just need to tell them."
Produced by Bell Media and showing on Crave, it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last September before picking up six CSA nominations."You have 20 seconds to make an acceptance speech," he said of Monday's virtual ceremony. The criticism comes as Canada's film industry grapples with conversations around how broadcasters and other gatekeepers determine who gets to tell the stories of people of colour.
Enough with this race shit,seems like you like to start race problems by Tweeting things like this
So what is wrong?
The only blak story I care about is the rise of Darth Vader.
Why should telling stories be based on skin colour? Today's racists are those who claim to be 'anti-racist'
ffs 🤦♂️
Has anyone told Spielberg The Color Purple is about to get cancelled?
Anyone care?
