Black Lives in Alberta: Over a Century of Racial Injustice Continues
“Black Lives in Alberta is the film I needed and wanted as an African American immigrant to this country … No matter what your connection is to this documentary, I recommend bringing tissues.”
– Chris Butler, Afros In Tha City
Black Lives in Alberta: Over a Century of Racial Injustice Continues tells the story of five generations of Black Albertans and their experiences of discrimination living on the Canadian Prairies. Descendants of a large wave of African American immigrants who moved to Alberta and Saskatchewan in the early 20th Century to escape racism and persecution in the United States candidly share their family histories and discuss how their racial identities have shaped their experiences of living in Alberta.
