We are the Roots: Black Settlers and their Experiences of Discrimination on the Canadian Prairies
We Are the Roots is a documentary that tells the stories of African-American immigrants who settled in Alberta and Saskatchewan in the early 1900s as they moved north to escape slavery, persecution and racism in America. Featuring stories from 19 descendants of original settlers, this film tells the story of their experiences in Canada where discrimination continued to impact their lives.
