"UNSCRIPTED: Made in Canada"
"Playwright Pedro Chamale invites you into the test kitchen of his new work, which highlights the unseen people who plant, tend and harvest our food. This recording of our live-streamed event is part cooking show, part "kitchen table talk" with special guests who explore the fallout from our reliance on the exploitation of migrant workers to put food on Canadian tables and the roles artist might play in making change.
Guests include documentary filmmaker Min Sook Lee (Migrant Dreams and El Contrato) and BC migrant worker advocate Byron Cruz (BCFED Health & Safety Centre and Sanctuary Health Vancouver) talking about migrant worker rights, along with Christie Lee Charles sharing with us knowledge of Indigenous food sovereignty on Coast Salish lands."
