DEAR JACKIE – with Pat Dillon-Moore
Join us for a special screening of Dear Jackie with Pat Dillon-Moore (host of the Bhum Bhum Time radio show on CKUT) in attendance to discuss the film and respond to questions. This powerful documentary is a cinematic letter to Jackie Robinson, the first African American player in Major League Baseball and a civil rights activist who broke the colour barrier when he joined the minor-league Montreal Royals in 1946. For a short time, the impossible seemed possible in a segregated North America. But did Montrealers use this historic moment to perpetuate a myth of a post-racial society?
