Long Time Comin’ (1993) follows the friendship of musician and activist Faith Nolan and multi-disciplinary artist and activist Grace Channer. Directed by Dionne Brand, the poet and novelist, this documentary foregrounds the Black, feminist, lesbian liberation movements of the early 1990s in so-called Toronto, Canada. Taking its title from a lyric sung by Faith, “It's been a long time comin’...” This program takes the second half of that lyric as its title “...long time here.” The song continues: No jobs No schools Ain’t no hope for the future here It’s been a long time comin’, a long time here… Equal parts concert, art exhibition, table talk, and rally, Long Time Comin’ breathes life into and sets the tone for the way movement work is depicted today. Both Grace and Faith speak to their connection—with each other and to the queer community—as a sustaining force. This film is an early effort to share this ongoing practice in real time, documenting the lives, communities, and creative work of the Black women groups that have long been at the forefront of movements for liberation. Guided by Faith’s music and performances alongside Grace’s paintings and sculptures, the film presents a reflection on collective efforts to combat racism, sexism, homophobia, and intergenerational poverty of the early 1990s that still, in 2025, anchor much of our conversations. Dionne Brand has since stated that she does not write toward anything called justice, but rather against tyranny—a distinction that speaks to the complexities of power, resistance, and the limitations of institutionalized justice. The film program Long Time Here underscores how the labour of queer Black women has been central to these struggles, while leading us all to the unfinished work of liberation. Though the social and political landscape has shifted in some ways, the film remains a vital document, offering insight into the networks of care, organizing, and artistry that have shaped Toronto’s activist histories, as well as the importance of communion, laughter, and joy in continued efforts against tyranny.
