LOST GENERATION - DOCUMENTARY SERIES
Three documentaries - Six Hours of Accredited EDI e-learning content
On June 22, 2020, the Ontario Minister of Education placed the Peel District School Board (PDSB) under supervision following a review and investigation into its capacity to address serious concerns about systemic discrimination, particularly anti-Black racism, as well as significant issues in governance, leadership, and human resources practices.
In response, CPE Studios, commissioned by the Lincoln Alexander School of Law at Toronto Metropolitan University, has produced a documentary series aimed at fostering professional development for legal and education professionals. The series directed by Garrick Apollon, LLB, JD, LLM, LLCM, CFE, inaugural Filmmaker-in-Residence at the Lincoln Alexander School of Law focuses on addressing anti-Black racism and promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) within Canada's educational system.
Titled Lost Generation, this compelling series comprises three short original documentaries that explore the systemic challenges and discriminatory practices undermining equity and inclusion in Canadian schools. These films are leveraged as case studies to provide a unique and innovative e-learning experience, accompanied by approximately six hours of interactive e-learning content.
"Our Children, Our Future: The Legacy of the Principal Thando Hyman" is a documentary film that chronicles the remarkable journey of Principal Thando Hyman, a prominent Black woman school principal in Toronto who dedicated her life to transforming the education system and fighting against anti-Black racism.
'I Am Not Your Bureaucrat: The Legacy of Patrick Case' explores Patrick Case's pioneering role as a human rights lawyer advocating for equity, inclusion, and systemic change within the educational system and beyond.
"The Legacy Academy" is an uplifting documentary that delves into the pioneering work of Imhotep's Legacy Academy (ILA), a transformative university-community alliance dedicated to bridging the achievement gap for African Nova Scotian students in grades 6 to 12.
The entire program is duly accredited by the Law Society of Ontario for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) training requirements.
With a critical lens on anti-Black racism and governance failures, the series highlights ongoing efforts to address these deep-seated disparities and offers actionable insights into potential solutions. Produced by CPE Studios, Lost Generation serves as an essential resource for advancing dialogue and action toward a more equitable and inclusive educational system.
CERTIFIED FRAUD EXAMINER CHRONICLES: REAL CASES, REAL LESSONS
Three documentaries - more than six Hours of Accredited CPE/CPD e-learning content
“Certified Fraud Examiner Chronicles: Real Cases, Real Lessons” is a powerful documentary series commissioned by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) and directed by Garrick Apollon, LLB, JD, LLM, LLCM, CFE, a Certified Fraud Examiner and inaugural ACFE’s Filmmaker-in-Residence.
Collaborating closely with John Gill, President of the ACFE, Garrick Apollon brings his expertise as a Certified Fraud Examiner, lawyer, and visual legal advocate to create a groundbreaking educational series that combines compelling storytelling with practical professional insights. Each film serves as a continuing professional education (CPE) case study, accompanied by more than six hours of interactive e-learning content.
The e-learning courses are accredited by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners for Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) and by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) for CPAs. This innovative series provides a unique, impactful learning experience for legal and financial professionals, blending real-world cases with actionable insights.
This accredited continuing professional education (CPE) series for Certified Fraud Examiners features three riveting documentaries leveraged as case studies for e-learning courses, each offering critical lessons in fraud prevention and detection:
Accounting for My Crime
This film explores the infamous embezzlement case of Nathan Mueller, who stole $8.45 million from his employer.
It examines the internal control failures that enabled the crime and delves into Mueller’s motivations, providing valuable insights into fraud prevention.
My Wall Street Heist
Focusing on Gary Foster’s $22 million embezzlement scheme at Citigroup, this film highlights the manipulation of internal systems, the unraveling of the fraud, and the critical importance of robust internal controls in financial institutions.
Silence No More
This documentary tells the courageous story of whistleblowers Sarah Carver and Jennifer Griffith, who exposed nearly half a billion dollars in fraud within a U.S. federal government agency, despite facing immense personal and professional challenges. It highlights the indispensable role of whistleblowers in uncovering systemic fraud and emphasizes the critical importance of speaking up and reporting unethical acts or fraudulent behavior.
By promoting a culture of openness and supporting whistleblowers, organizations and society can safeguard their integrity, ensure accountability, and foster an environment where ethical practices prevail.
