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!

It's hard to make your qualities stand out in a close-knit town where everyone knows everyone else. Several young immigrants, all graduates from Université de Moncton in New Brunswick, are having a hard time finding work that takes advantage of their training. They become caught in a vicious circle -- working in local call centres, where they must perform repetitive and alienating tasks. With a labour shortage looming, the city of Moncton slowly begins an effort to sensitize employers to the benefits of cultural diversity in an era of global markets. With strong images and activist rap, this film highlights the invisibility that many young people feel in a society that does not recognize their true worth.
