Painting a picture of the Black community in Montreal’s Little Burgundy (“Harlem of the North”) by way of a cinematic letter to Jackie Robinson, the first Black man to break the colour barrier in professional baseball, Dear Jackie offers a unique historical and social perspective that unravels the myth of a post-racial Quebec society.
