Being Black in Canada is a part of the Netflix and Fabienne Colas Foundation’s Youth and Diversity Program. It was created to offer hands-on learning opportunities for black filmmakers to flourish in front and behind the camera. It provides a platform for emerging filmmakers to grow by providing mentorship and the chance to make a short documentary about what it means to be Black in their various Canadian cities.
