The award-winning film Ninth Floor, a documentary produced by TT-born, Canada-based Selwyn Jacob, will make its cinematic return to Trinidad this month at The University of the West Indies (The UWI), St Augustine.
The free screening is presented by the trinidad+tobago film festival (ttff) in partnership with the Department of Cultural Studies, The UWI.
Described as addressing “the most dramatic and violent racial conflict in modern Canadian history” by povmagazine.com, Ninth Floor examines the Sir George Williams University riot of February 1969, when six Caribbean students mounted a protest against institutional racism.
