Home Feeling: Struggle for a CommunityJennifer Hodge et Roger McTair 1983 57 min
A beautiful film on the Toronto district of Jane and Finch, which has had to deal with so many issues, including tensions with authorities. A good movie to gauge how far we have come versus what we still need to do to address the stigmatization of Black Canadians, especially in inner-city neighborhoods. - By Michael P. Farkas
