Details.
Wiki.
Patty vs. Patty is a 2022 Canadian short documentary film, directed by Chris Strikes. The film recounts the true story of the "patty wars" of 1985, when restaurants in Toronto which served Jamaican patties had to fight a bureaucratic edict that they could not call their product a "patty", on the grounds that consumers might confuse them with hamburger patties, through a mixture of documentary footage and satirical dramatic reenactments performed by Star Trek: Discovery and Bite of a Mango actor Orville Cummings.The film premiered February 17, 2022, on CBC Gem and YouTube. It was also later screened at the 2022 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, and the 2022 Vancouver International Film Festival.
