(Toronto) The English version of the Aboriginal documentary miniseries on the eleven Aboriginal nations of Quebec, Let us tell, will be presented at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

The four-episode documentary series, produced by Abenaki Kim O’Bomsawin, gives the floor to the eleven Aboriginal nations of Quebec so that they can tell their stories “in their own way and from their point of view”. The series was broadcast in French on Radio-Canada television last November — and it is still available for free on the ICI TOU.TV platform.

Let us tell is also a finalist in Quebec in five categories for the next Gémeaux awards: best program or documentary series “society”, best production of a program or documentary series “society, history, politics and economy”, screenplay, research and direction of photography.

The English version of the series is one of nine television productions featured as part of TIFF’s TV section.

This “Primetime” program will also host the series Black Life: Untold Stories, which the CBC will program this fall. The eight-part series bills itself as a “reframing of black history.” It is notably co-produced by one of the founders of “Black Lives Matter Canada”, Sandy Hudson, and by former hockey player P.K.Subban.

Other Canadian productions announced in the Primetime section at TIFF include Crave Bria Mack’s comedy Gets A Life, about a 25-year-old black woman navigating a white world.

As for international productions, the world premiere of Netflix’s All The Light We Cannot See, based on the 2015 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Anthony Doerr, has been announced. The film, directed by Montreal-born Shawn Levy, features starring Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Laurie, among others.

We also note Expats, a sequel to The Farewell, by Lulu Wang, with Nicole Kidman as an expatriate in Hong Kong, as well as Bad Boy, an Israeli series about a teenager sent to a detention center for minors.
