KJIPUKTUK (Halifax) – I was going to feature this weekend’s video sight unseen. I had heard great things about Desmond Cole’s The skin we’re in, and figured it was a good fit given all the talk about carding and racial profiling lately.
Turns out that there is lots of Nova Scotia content. Cole visits Shelburne County’s Birchtown and Halifax’ Kwacha House Café, Preston residents talk about living with police checkpoints everywhere, there is even some footage of Rocky Jones and an encounter with poet and author George Elliott Clarke. Click here to check it out.
I love this documentary, and I love the way Desmond Cole does journalism.
If you can, please support the Nova Scotia Advocate so that it can continue to cover issues such as poverty, racism, exclusion, workers’ rights and the environment in Nova Scotia. A pay wall is not an option for us, since it would exclude many readers who don’t have any disposable income at all. We rely entirely on occasional one-time donors and a group of 25 or so dedicated monthly sustainers.
