What We Fight For
This year marks Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation. Discover what we as Canadians fight for and defend in this handpicked selection of NFB works.
Canadians have a reputation for being a polite people. But that doesn’t mean that we back down from a fight. In this final lens of our special 150th online programming, we’re showcasing the Canadian spirit of protest from past to present. Here’s to the activists, the advocates and the provocateurs that have taken a stand on everything from aboriginal land claims to discrimination against women and minorities.
