Jun 25 Episode Ninety-Five: Amplifying Black Voices

Is the Vancouver film and TV industry racist? How can we dismantle anti-Black racism in the industry while servicing US shows that practice tokenism? What are micro-aggressions, and how and when do Black film workers experience micro-aggressions? Those are some of the questions covered in Amplifying Black Voices, a panel discussion organized by the Vancouver Asian Film Festival that took place online on June 13, 2020. The panel was moderated by YVR Screen Scene Podcast host Sabrina Furminger and featured Rukiya Bernard, Mariam Barry, Andy Hodgson, Jem Garrard, and Zach Lipovsky talking about white supremacy and anti-Blackness in the Vancouver film and television industry. This episode features an excerpt from the Amplifying Black Voices panel. To view a video of the complete panel, check out the link in the show notes (below).
