T'Cha Dunlevy: Bridging Quebec's cultural divides under COVID-19

We could all use some good news right about now.

COVID-19 has ravaged Quebec, and particularly Montreal, which has become a hotspot of the pandemic in Canada and around the world. And while politicians and the populace formed a united front over the first month of the lockdown, things have fallen apart since.

Divisions are everywhere: between old and young, rich and poor, Quebec and the ROC, Montreal and the rest of the province, hard-hit areas and those less affected, English and French.

Fabrice Vil wanted to do something about it. Two weeks ago, the Haitian-Montrealer along with filmmaker Jorge Camarotti released Je me souviendrai, a two-minute video bringing together testimonies from front-line workers and community members of diverse backgrounds. The message: we’re all in this together.
