Hi! I edited the English version. Let me know what you think - I moved some
stuff around and edited the language a little.

Is there any of this (like the description of the film) that has been
translated to French yet?

*In the Shadow of Borders: *documentary film screening followed by
discussion
Thursday, December 10th, 2015
7pm at De Sève Cinema
1400 de Maisonneuve West (Concordia Library Building)
(Guy-Concordia metro)
Cost: Free
Accessibility information: This venue is wheelchair accessible. There are
accessible washrooms next to the cinema, though they are not gender
neutral. [I don't know all the accessibility information for the venue,
i.e. Steps, etc, although I'm pretty sure there is space at the back for
access for people who have reduced mobility, including a section reserved
for people who use wheelchairs. And will there be whisper or other
translation for the discussion?]
Language: English, French and Spanish with English subtitles

This event is organized by *In the Shadow of Borders *with support from the
Community-University Research Exchange (CURE), QPIRG Concordia and
Solidarity Across Borders

Please join us Thursday, December 10, to watch *In the Shadow of Borders, *a
37 minute documentary film produced in 2015. Is Canada the welcoming
country for migrants it likes to call itself? In the Shadow of Borders
challenges this myth and, through personal stories of detention, denial of
essential services, labour exploitation and deportation, exposes how
precarious are the lives of those without status.

By connecting histories—of indigenous sovereignty, of Canada’s role in
displacement, of its discriminatory policies—this documentary portrays
grassroots resistance to xenophobic governmental practices and the struggle
of migrants for freedom of movement.

We also invite you to stay after the screening to talk about the film and
ongoing migrant struggles. People who participated in making the film,
along with some of those interviewed and active in organizing around these
issues in Montreal will be present for the discussion.

The film is in English, French and Spanish and this projection will be of
the English subtitled version, however DVDs of the Spanish and French
subtitled versions will be available at the event.

This documentary is meant to serve as a popular education film, so if you
cannot make the event or would like to share the film with others, we
encourage you to organize your own screening! It could be shown in your
home, workplace, school, community group, local park, etc. We can also help
to organize screenings with someone to answer questions, facilitate a
discussion and provide materials for workshops. Please be in touch at
info at shadowofborders.com and we can get you what you need to set up your
event. Also keep following our website and Facebook page to receive news of
other screenings and find full high quality links to watch share the
documentary online.

ABOUT
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. This 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.
