Film Screening: Pride vs. Prejudice: The Delwin Vriend Story

This Queer History Month, join us for a special screening of Pride vs. Prejudice: The Delwin Vriend Story. This award-winning documentary explores the landmark case of a gay Alberta teacher whose firing led the Supreme Court to take up the issue of sexual orientation as a human right. We’ll open the show with a performance from local drag artist Hot Wheelz! Be sure to stick around after the film for a short Q&A with director Darrin Hagen.

Pride vs Prejudice: The Delwin Vriend Story is directed by Darrin Hagen and produced by the Edmonton Queer History Project and the Edmonton Community Foundation.

Film Rating: PG
