  • Tales from the Endz

    Tales from the Endz
    May 26 2026
    Gentrification is changing the history and culture of Toronto Black communities like Little Jamaica . The situation requires attention because of new developments and transit routes like the Eglinton Crosstown LRT that has recently opened after a lengthy period of construction work. Due to gentrification, the neighborhood's African and Caribbean community are experiencing increased threats from rising costs, business shutdowns and loss of cultural heritage. By talking to someone from the community, we discover solutions through community-based approaches which include community land trusts, equitable development initiatives, and cultural heritage protection programs.

    One Bloody Conversation at a Time
    May 26 2026
    Why has menstruation always been something so uncomfortable to talk about? In One Bloody Conversation at a Time, Kaelin addresses the embarrassment and shame attached with menstruation to demonstrate how these feelings alongside stigma prevent open conversations that bring awareness to menstruation and those lacking access to period care. It's time to start talking so things can start changing.

    May 26 2026
    Backstitch is a short documentary exploring one woman's journey from learning to sew as a young girl in Iran to building a new life in Canada through tailoring. Through memories of migration, family, and the quiet artistry of working with fabric by hand, the documentary reflects on resilience and the skills passed between generations. Like the sewing technique it is named after, Backstitch moves backward and forward through time, tracing how she stitched together a livelihood, a home, and a lasting legacy for her family.
