A Better Man

Birth of a Family
Birth of a Family (Trailer), Tasha Hubbard, provided by the National Film Board of Canada
Three sisters and a brother, adopted as infants into separate families across North America, meet together for the first time in this deeply moving documentary by director Tasha Hubbard.
The Road Forward
The Road Forward (Trailer), Marie Clements, provided by the National Film Board of Canada
The Road Forward, a musical documentary by Marie Clements, connects a pivotal moment in Canada’s civil rights history—the beginnings of Indian Nationalism in the 1930s—with the powerful momentum of First Nations activism today.
Unarmed Verses
Unarmed Verses presents a thoughtful and vivid portrait of a community facing imposed relocation. At the centre of the story is a remarkably astute and luminous 12-year-old black girl whose poignant observations about life, the soul, and the power of art give voice to those rarely heard in society.
