Frame Of Title Card For Some Black Women

This is a frame from the opening of the documentary Some Black Women (1975). This film was worked on by both Roger McTair and Claire Prieto. It is known as one of the first works in the Black Canadian Film history. This work is quite significant because it focuses on a narrative of Black Women which being one of the first presented Black created documentaries is major. This was a big deal because it talked about two minority standards and spoke out in an era when the creations and documentaries of Black creators were trying to be silenced. This documentary put McTair and Prieto on the map to create their legacy which only grew.
