Journey to Justice (2000)

This documentary highlights Canadian activists who fought racial discrimination through legal means. Covering the 1930s to the 1950s, it follows the efforts of six individuals who challenged inequality. The film features Viola Desmond, who in 1946 refused to give up her seat at a Nova Scotia movie theatre because it was in a section for Black patrons, and Fred Christie, who sued after being denied service at a Montreal tavern in 1936. These courageous figures played a vital role in achieving justice for all Canadians. Their stories are an important part of history.
