My name is Curt Jaimungal, a Torontonian filmmaker making a documentary on the above topics (as for what shape the final settled project will take, I’m unsure). During the exploratory phase, there will be a plethora of interviews / conversations with intellectuals placed on this channel — approximately un-edited.
