Meet the people involved in the fight to eliminate racism in the workplace.
What was once out in the open is now subtly hidden in the policies and practices of the workplace. CITIZENShift has teamed up with Human Resources Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) to explore the issue of racism at work. This dossier devoted entirely to issues surrounding racism in the workplace. Examine how direct and systemic racism adversely effect industry and economy. Meet players involved in the fight to combat, subvert, and eliminate workplace racism. Witness the journey from the making-of to the final cut of six provocative short films produced on the subject.
Update: After the huge success of this dossier (launched in 2006) and the series of videos created on the subject, we are happy to announce that a new series of films and a space for dialogue on the topic is currently in action!

Rejected from every Ontario law school twice, an ordinary man might throw
in the towel. In 1997 Selwyn Pieters, a young African Canadian, sued
instead, claiming that the LSAT, an exam taken to gain entrance into the
profession of law, discriminates against Blacks. After three years of
hard-fought litigation, the courts ruled against him. Impressed by
Selwyn's legal acumen and tenacity, the prestigious Osgoode Hall Law
School decided to accept him after all.
