This article discusses three films made about the Sir George Williams Affair: Crisis at Sir George (1998 ), An(other) Antilles (2013 ) and the widely distributed National Film Board film Ninth Floor (2016 ). It comprises a critique of the latter, arguing that Ninth Floor’s impact is to undermine political protest, denying the significance of the events both at the time and in the history of Black activism in Canada
