TORONTO - This year's leading Canadian Screen Awards nominees include a series about North America's Black train porters in the 1920sand a coming-of-age film set in Scarborough.
When CBC's "The Porter" debuts Monday, it will become one of the network's largest Black-led television series, ringing in Black History Month in a "powerful" way, says Toronto star Ronnie Rowe Jr., who adds that he's "honoured to be a part of history."
