Pour Angela...

Inspiré d'un fait réel, ce court métrage de fiction fait la reconstruction dramatique d’un événement survenu dans un autobus alors que trois jeunes gens batailleurs tiennent des propos racistes à l'endroit d'une jeune Amérindienne et de sa mère, Rhonda. Celle-ci décide de réagir, le lendemain, lorsqu'elle constate à quel point sa fille se sent humiliée. Elle se rend à l'école et fait réaliser aux agresseurs la portée destructrice de leur geste en apparence anodin.

Notes

Ideal for essays and debates on Indigenous history and bullying. What would you have done if you were riding the bus with Angela and her mother? Use this video to begin a lesson on the history of colonization in Canada and its ongoing effects. Identify ways in which discrimination has been perpetuated in Canada and assess strategies for dealing with it. Write a personal essay about an example of discrimination that you’ve witnessed.
