Being able to tell them that we were making one about an Indigenous skateboarder and seeing their reactions to that is something I\u2019ll always cherish.\u201d<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem; letter-spacing: 0px;\">\u201cI first met Joe through skateboarding in Montreal back in \u201805,\u201d Chebib says, \u201cbut then I moved out west and we lost touch.

Consciously, I can say I got into filmmaking through skateboarding \u2014 making skate videos with my friends. Generally speaking, I think it helped me see obstacles as opportunities and a willingness to try and make something with nothing. I\u2019m also a mixed race person that grew up between North America and the Middle-East. In Arabic schools I was bullied as the white kid; in western schools I was bullied as the Arab kid. I was in Canada when 9\/11 happened. I know what racism feels like. On the other hand, I was also fortunate to travel a lot and experience many different cultures. That gave me a more global perspective. Ultimately, though, I\u2019m just a naturally sensitive person that resonates with underdog stories.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f45f49e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f45f49e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-613604c\" data-id=\"613604c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36645fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"36645fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.rdvcanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/RDV-Canada-Portrait-1.png\" title=\"RDV Canada &#8211; Portrait (1)\" alt=\"RDV Canada - Portrait (1)\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Producer Hayley Morin<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1cf7560\" data-id=\"1cf7560\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7919b13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7919b13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span lang=\"EN\">\u201cMy connection to my culture and the ways in which I was raised have influenced me greatly in not only my career but also in my daily life,\u201d says Morin. \u201cBeing able to showcase stories from the Indigenous perspective is a major focus of mine, and that is greatly referenced in the work that I do. Resiliency comes with the ancestry I\u2019ve been blessed with, so that also is a fundamental part of my filmmaking. Growing up, I was never really exposed to Indigenous people and perspectives in the mainstream media or in television, film, and music.

Joe attended in the 1990s. It\u2019s a living legacy of intergenerational trauma that we as a nation are collectively responsible for and need to continue to address.
