REALITY BYTES, our fifth collection of STUDIO A programs, is a collection of documentary shorts lensed by emerging, and seasoned, Alberta talent.  Largely driven by filmmakers and subjects of color, this program uses varied mediums and strong storytelling to share its different narratives.  Animation, spoken word, and expository all come together in this program to reveal some deeper, urgent truths about our province.  Q&A following this screening, moderated by Damon Kwame Mason.
