As the Oscar’s Best Picture kerfuffle wrapped up awards season last week, I thought I’d share this curated list of short films I put together for my previous workplace’s Diversity Month.
Each week for the month of June, we featured different films or videos focusing on the theme of embracing diversity. My goal was to raise awareness of the challenges faced by different groups including, but not limited to, people of colour, LGBT+ communities, and Canada's Aboriginal peoples.
The films and videos showcased ranged from TED Talks to Viceland’s Gaycation. I also pulled resources from the National Film Board, of which much of the content is free to access.
The list below features the films I selected showcasing the challenges of people who are differently-abled. Please click through to view the film.
