Mighty Jerome (2010, 1:24)
Director: Charles Officer
National Film Board
We begin with honouring Black History Month and a screening of Mighty Jerome. From acclaimed filmmaker Charles Officer comes the story of the rise, fall and redemption of Harry Jerome, Canada's most record-setting track and field star. Gorgeous monochrome imagery, impassioned interviews and astonishing archival footage are used to tell the triumphant and compelling story of what Harry Jerome's own coach called "the greatest comeback in track and field history.” The post-screening discussion will be led by Wayne Dunkley, and artist and educator.

The Sunshine Coast Arts Council Presents a Spring Film Series of 3 documentaries that consider racial histories, land back, and settler colonialism woven across geographies and time. These films reveal the connections and shared concerns across the world as we witness increasing challenges to black, brown and global Indigenous rights to land, culture, history and survival. Each film will be followed by a post-screening discussion. For each film we will also share additional films and resources online, for those who are interested in learning more. The series aspires to remind us that everywhere is connected to somewhere, and the importance of holding hope in times of complexity.
