RADICAL REELS

Radical Reels Guelph is a film series hosted with the support of OPIRG Guelph and Cinema Politica. We screen films that challenge conventional narratives and that explore stories from directly affected communities and struggles. Our film screenings aim to engage campus and the community in critical issues, actions, and experiences surrounding social and environmental justice. After each screening, we talk about our collective experiences and the practical actions we can take to reach these goals.

OPIRG Guelph is located on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton, the Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples and the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant to this land and offer our respect and gratitude to all of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island who have stewarded, loved & defended this land for centuries.

In stating this, we acknowledge that we are here as a result of blood that has been shed through colonization, which continues to be the lived experience of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to be accountable for our present participation in that process.
