Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms gets six fresh perspectives with In the Name of All Canadians, a compilation of short documentaries commissioned by Hot Docs.

From Indigenous rights to the controversial ‘notwithstanding clause,’ participating filmmakers take the Charter’s key tenets off the page and into the lived experiences of the country they call home.

Films include:

Last Resort (dirs. Vivian Belik & Jennifer Bowen-Allen)

Notwithstanding (dirs. Patrick Reed & Andréa Schmidt)

The Long Way Home (dirs. Ariel Nasr & Aisha Jamal)

Lessons Injustice (dir. Karen Chapman)

L’inspecteur (dirs. Jérémie Wookey, Annick Marion & Janelle Wookey)

In Part (dir. Khoa Lê)
