Long Ways to Go

Made with the help of the Union United Church of Montréal, this film dramatizes some of the more common rebuffs met by West Indian blacks as they look for work, a place to live, and a toe-hold on equal terms in the land of their adoption. The resolute mood of the black community is suggested in one sequence when they meet with a civil rights organizer.
