National Film Board
In December, keep streaming Canadian on NFB platforms! This month, four new films-three docs and one animated short-are launching online and will be available for free across the country. A moving selection of films that will give viewers plenty to think about:
- Stefan Verna's documentary Night Watches Us is a powerful call for systemic change in policing;
- Wylem Decaille's documentary Jireh Gospel: Hearts in Chorus celebrates gospel music as an act of faith and community that can transform hearts, heal the soul and inspire joy;
- François Pierre Breau's short documentary Fernand's Christmas is the story of a man who shows us what the true spirit of Christmas is all about: having a generous heart and a passion for giving;
- and Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski's award-winning animated short The Girl Who Cried Pearls follows a boy who must choose between love and fortune. The choice could damn his soul.
And currently streaming, Brishkay Ahmed's feature doc In the Room presents five extraordinary Afghan women in exile discussing their commitment to freedom and equality.
Remember, nfb.ca is home to more than 7,000 streaming films, accessible free of charge.
