Former Western student Justine Turner, in partnership with the City of London, is currently filming a documentary, Black History in the Forest City. This film concentrates on the rich history of London’s African-Canadians and how they created a safe haven in the Forest City.
“London is a hidden treasure chest of black history that even story books do not talk about,” Turner said. “The faces on the film vary in age while the seniors are the ones who have the story book in their heads. We need to capture their spirit and passion of yesterday.”
