Nice Flyer Cat!
i doubt you can get dvd's there unless there's some kind of express.... did
they get made yet/in the process?
Good luck with the screening!

As for website, everyone ok with what Boban suggested?
also for the text is was wondering if we should just use mostly the blurb
on the dvd (at least it's trilingual) and if we need more text we could
update the indiegogo and translate it? the other things would be links and
a contact email (would we use the resist, gmail or make one with the
website---wich i don't know how to do?)
let me know what you think about web text and i can start updating this guy
if you think it's necessary: (or start something else)
also would we sell dvds via web page? (for postage and costs?) also as soon
as it goes up, even if we're still organizing screenings do we put the full
version up there (n high res down loads right away so anyone can watch
it/screen it?) I would like to do that! unless we wanna apply for RIDM or
something and that would disqualify us? what do people think?
Take care

Who are we & what is this project

We are a group of community organizers and media-activists in Montreal who
have been working on a video documentary project about grassroots migrant
justice struggles in Canada. At its core, our documentary is meant to serve
as a popular education tool for both people who already do migrant justice
work as well as the broader Montreal community and beyond.

Through the testimonies of migrants who have struggled or are struggling
today to remain in Canada, the documentary attempts to debunk the myth of
Canada as a welcoming multicultural country and to expose the exploitative,
colonial and imperial foundations of Canada and its immigration system. It
is also a platform for people struggling against the immigration system to
tell their stories and to highlight the ongoing resistance by migrants and
allies to undermine the racist colonial borders of the Canadian state.

Throughout the duration of this project, we have worked in collaboration
with members of many migrant justice groups such as Solidarity Across
Borders, the Immigrant Workers Centre, Mexicans United for Regularization,
No One Is Illegal, the Temporary Foreign Workers Association, and people
directly affected by Canada’s unjust immigration policies. Thus, our
project has always prioritized and been shaped by the voices of Montreal’s
migrant justice community and directly affected people. We believe that
this documentary will be an invaluable resource to use within our
communities and to spread education about migrant justice struggles both
nationally and internationally as well.

Over the past year and a half, we have been consulting with local migrant
justice groups, filming marches, community events, and press conferences,
as well as conducting interviews and spending countless hours editing. Our
project is nearing its final stages but we need your help in order to
complete this project and distribute this resource around!
