The play, You Can’t Break My Spirit: Colours of Justice, is an exciting, riveting play based on real life events which engages it’s audience from beginning to end. The play explores what “freedom” means; and what price we as individuals are willing to pay in order to be “free”.
It examines the justice system and asks, “Is It Just?” If it is unjust, how can we work together to make it better? During this explorative and educational process, the inspiring play “Colours of Justice” teaches children and youth to discuss, research and create a justice system that would actually work and achieve equality in our society.
This inspiring play “You Can’t Break My Spirit” is about creating Love, Understanding and Victory in the midst of challenges. A young brown woman goes undercover into the Ontario Justice system so she can understand the experience of the people she serves in her missionary work. She expects to be released from jail after one night, but instead is trapped in a system that will only release you if you plead guilty, or have tens of thousands of dollars to pay lawyers who are experts who are well connected and are experts in their field.
The faces around her are vulnerable and aggressive souls who have given up on any possibility of having a normal life, people who have lost everything; they are casually sacrificing their souls for momentary freedom, while being trapped in a cycle that seeks to destroy them. The protagonist encounters dishonesty, systemic and overt racism, politics, and injustices within the legal system, finally uncovering a system that does not work efficiently at every level. As she searches for solutions she finds the true meaning of love, courage and dignity. The protagonist’s bravery, determination and persistent faith at every step of the journey is, in the end, rewarded after spending two hundred thousand dollars and fighting for the freedom to live her life on her own terms.
Appropriate for 10 years old and up. Vetted by school boards across Canada and highly recommended for character building and values education.
