Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. If you haven’t yet watched Beans (2020) directed by Tracey Deer, this is a great place to start - available now on Amazon Prime and Crave. Shoutout to our Director of Consulting, Roha Hena, who interviewed Tracey Deer through Indigenous 150+, prior to the film’s release. Listen to the podcast episode at the link in our stories! As a team focused on authentic storytelling practices, centring authorship, we believe in the utmost importance of supporting creators telling their own community’s stories. Please see our stories for highly suggested readings and events to attend today and this weekend in solidarity with Indigenous communities who are continuously denied basic rights and sovereignty. Today, it is not only important to learn more about the history of the land we live on, but to take actionable steps towards amplifying land-back campaigns and stories that have been shut out of the mainstream for far too long. Decolonizing is a continuous process and we must not claim to live in a post-colonial era.

Films With A Cause

“Films With A Cause is about active revolutionary storytelling. We are a Toronto-based filmmaking organization that produces socially and environmentally conscious films in an effort to instigate foreseeable change. The first film that will be released under the organization’s name is a documentary I directed about the experiences of three families who fled the war in Syria and are now living in the GTA. The film is entitled, ‘From Syria To Hope’ and is set to premiere at the 2018 Canadian Centre For the Responsibility To Protect (CCR2P) Film Festival.

Films With A Cause aims to not only raise awareness on important issues both locally and globally but also to address these topics with possible solutions. I believe that films can bring important issues to light, leading to the implementation of changes within social institutions. When the circumstances of others are taken into personal consideration by large masses of people, change becomes increasingly achievable.

Right now, our organization operates on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. The organization officially launched on January 1st, 2018 and the website will be running by March. Our website will allow blog contributions, video submissions and links to allow active involvement in the topics being depicted in the Films With A Cause productions. We are currently planning collaborations with other groups for future film projects and we also support the efforts of other local filmmakers by promoting their work. Our plan is to have Films With A Cause function on a collaborative basis where we will release daily clips from full-length films created by socially/environmentally conscious filmmakers.” -Yazmeen Kanji
