4 жыл бұрынThe Riot at Christie Pits exposes the roots of racism, focusing on Canada’s worst race riot. It happened in the fiery summer of 1933, in Toronto now the world’s most multi-racial city.
Using contemporary and historical footage, reenactments and eyewitness accounts, the film offers insight, compassion and humour and a warning that hatred can lurk in the heart of any city.
Based on an award-winning book, The Riot of Christie Pits is a historical story as gripping and urgent as the nightly news. It sheds light on the dark past of a city that remains a beacon of hope to immigrants from around the world.
Based upon the Book by Dr. Cyril Levitt, Dr. William Shaffir
Directed by Peter Williamson

Great documentary! Much appreciated. This should be shown to every student at all Canadian schools. Sadly, many (most) Jews and Italians in Canada know nothing about this!

Despite being born and raised in Toronto, I was not really aware of this. This is why I prefer multiculturalism, nationalism breeds hate. The "us vs them" attitude is problematic.

I chose to take the positive: Jews stood up in their self defense, joined by Italian immigrants.

Dommenic Di Stasi? How is he orange British?

The orange order now is more an org which supports Brit traditions, rather than white prots. So you can have a last name like that and be master.
