Robert Gibson reviews Jerry Rothwell's The Reason I Jump. This film is adapted from Naoki Higashida's 2007 memoir on growing up as a non-verbal autistic person. The Reason I Jump explores these themes, weaving together individual stories and challenging ableist myths and stigma around autistic people who require a high degree of support. Gibson writes that this film accomplishes the difficult task of bringing the audience into the minds of neurodiverse people with respect and care.
Katie Pedlar discusses Kim O'Bomsawin's impactful new documentary, Call Me Human. This film follows Innu poet Joséphine Bacon, though she rejects the title as "poet" does not exist in Innu-aimun. As part of a generation grappling with the effects of centuries of violent oppression, Bacon's work serves to nourish Innu language, resisting colonial suffocation of Innu language and culture.
Janine Joseph reviews canadian director Lulu Wei's 'There's No Place Like This, Anyplace' a documentary about the famous and grand Honest Ed's--a landmark in Toronto's downtown. The fall of Honest Ed's is the story of gentrification and this documentary is a clear snapshot of the ever looming force of condo development and rent hikes in Canada's largest city.
