Mr. Jane and Finch
After decades of working tirelessly to advocate for the Jane and Finch community in Toronto, Winston LaRose decides to run for Toronto City Council at 81 years old. Beloved by those in his neighbourhood – who have affectionately dubbed him “Mr. Jane and Finch” – LaRose’s grassroots campaign gains traction until an unexpected and controversial change to the size of the council doubles his field of competitors and presents an insurmountable challenge.
Mr Jane and Finch is a thoughtful profile of the life and work of an inspiring Black community leader and also offers a fascinating in-depth look at an election campaign with unique challenges and issues.Director
