New documentary Diversity aims to connect across cultures and religions to find common ground
From the Prime Minister to everyday Canadians, we often talk about the country’s diversity as a strength. But immigrant and racialized communities still face stereotypes and discrimination, especially when it comes to religious differences.
“We travelled across Canada to discover its diversity,” according to the Canadian Youth Interfaith Network. “We brought together representatives from different ethnic and religious communities in four largest cities in Canada to find out what it will take to challenge the existing stereotypes.”
The Youth Interfaith Network points out that Canada is the most religiously diverse country, and to develop a culture of tolerance, as well to reduce prejudices based on religious affiliation, we need to seek common ground.
The movie was created with support of the Government of Canada and produced by Lights and Shadows Productions.
