We launched our first\u00a0Pandemic Playlist<\/a>\u00a0back in May as a means to reflect on the injustices and inequalities embedded in the capitalist system\u2019s assault on labour. When we first began assembling this next list of political films to stream during the COVID-19 global pandemic, George Floyd was still alive. Our theme,\u00a0Health & Community Care<\/em>, has since compelled us to include Sabaah Folayan\u2019s powerful feature\u00a0WHOSE STREETS?<\/a>, an artful testament to the power of community and collective care that rose out of Ferguson to inspire a global movement. With the recent, Black-led demonstrations against police brutality and anti-Black racism erupting across the US, Canada and globally, Folayan\u2019s intimate look at the community that rose around the killing of Michael Brown has an even stronger resonance.<\/p>

We hope that the following playlist contributes to a culture of collective care, to communities of resistance, and to a massive shift away from white supremacy toward equality and justice for Black, Indigenous and people of colour everywhere. In light of the escalated settler violence against\u00a0Mi\u2019kmaq fishers in Nova Scotia<\/a>, and the racism and complicity that has been demonstrated by Canadian RCMP officers, we see particular urgency for this shift here in Canada\u2014where institutionalized and interpersonal racism is downplayed by politicians and gets less mainstream attention.<\/p>

There has nonetheless been a tremendous community response in the form of mutual aid, cooperation, generosity, and solidarity to support both social movements and individuals struggling through the global pandemic. From frontline workers caring for those infected, to those working with grieving loved ones, to those providing essential services\u2014care has never been so urgent, nor so integral to the health of communities.<\/p>

The following ten films are linked by their stories of care and resistance, while providing vital critiques of unjust and harmful systems. While they cover divergent topics\u2014from the privatization of health care, to frontline street nursing, to the strength of family in the face of colonization\u2014they all share a commitment to social justice, the theme of care, and the creative spirit of progressive social movements.<\/p>

Some are available for rental through Cinema Politica\u00a0Pay-Per-View<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0streaming services<\/a>, others can be viewed for free.<\/em><\/p>
