00:06Women had to fight to put their hands on the technology.

00:10I continue to be astonished that we managed to produce as much media as we did.

00:18Studio D was given very little resources.

00:22Kathleen had an office in the basement of the Film Board.

00:26I think it was a former janitor's hangout.

00:28As we got into the industry, sort of seeing that lack of representation of particularly women of colour.

00:34Our lives was the first black women's newspaper in Canada.

00:38And it came about because black women needed a voice in Canada.

00:42It was very hard to get into print because you had to have a scoop.

00:47You couldn't write about something if it happened to you.

00:51Wanting to make a video in the early 80s would entail getting a port-a-pack.

00:57It was the first portable video camera.

01:49Power was in the hands of white women, and now women of colour were coming to have some of it.

01:55It was the first documentary directed by a Chinese-Canadian filmmaker in the history of the film board at that time.

02:06The Third International Feminist Book Fair, it was the only one that happened in North America.

02:12It was the first feminist newspaper in Canada.

02:15Dykes on Mikes, the longest-running lesbian show in the world.

02:19I think we would say that.

02:24Métis women are the cultural carriers.

02:27They're the story keepers.

02:28For us, our responsibility is to pass the culture on to future generations.

02:33We are the future ancestors.

02:37The archive is a warning and a promise to the future.

02:41I have to say
