Ecstasy of Rita Joe
Rita Joe is a Native girl who leaves the reservation for the city, only to die on skid row as a victim of white men’s violence and paternalistic attitudes towards First Nations peoples.
The Coloured Museum
The Colored Museum has electrified, discomforted, and delighted audiences of all colours, redefining our ideas of what it means to be Black in contemporary America. Its eleven "exhibits" undermine Black stereotypes old and new, and return to the facts of what being Black means.

Bereav’d of Light
Wagoosh has a vision and follows the signs south. Absalom, an escaped slave, is running north. When the two meet, the inevitable clash of cultures leads them on a strange and desperate flight from the plantation owner. Red, black and white, the men must come to grips with the things that unite and divide them. - A complex picture of race relations in 19th century America.
