This is a troubling documentary about racism, lies and secrets in a small Ontario town that tried to hide its segregationist past. The relative nature of history is highlighted here, and is an interesting subject to explore so as to develop students’ critical thinking skills. Compare history textbooks from earlier periods with today’s. Are there references to slavery, to rejection of and contempt for blacks by Canadians?
