Summary:
"It started quietly when a group of Caribbean students, strangers in a cold new land, began to suspect their professor of
racism
. It ended in the most explosive student uprising Canada had ever known. Over four decades later, Ninth Floor reopens the file on the infamous Sir George Williams Riot
--
a watershed moment in Canadian race relations and one of the most contested episodes in the nation's
history
. Making a compassionate and audacious foray into non-fiction, writer and director Mina Shum locates the protagonists in clandestine locations throughout Trinidad and Montreal, the wintry city where it all went down. In a cinematic gesture of reckoning and redemption, she listens as they set the record straight
--
and lay their burden down. Can we make peace with the past? What lessons have we learned? What really happened up there on the 9th floor?"--NFB website.
