Montreal, 1969: As a burgeoning civil rights movement gathers momentum, student protesters take over a University building in a challenge to institutional racism that sparks reverberations across the globe.

Through vivid archive footage and first hand accounts from former student protestors, this striking film recounts the searing events so often overlooked in the narrative of North American civil rights, and traces shared legacies of colonialism and state oppression across the Caribbean, Canada and the US.

Visually striking and emotionally resonant, True North returns 1960s Montreal to its place in the global Black liberation movement, offering a rare and poignant account of events that are as relevant now as they were revolutionary then.
