Join us for this celebration of human rights with a post-film discussion featuring Kathryn Oviatt, Chief of the Commission and Tribunals of the Alberta Human Rights Commission and special guests.
Delwin Vriend never wanted to be a human rights activist, but in challenging his firing for being gay, he set in motion a chain of events that impacted the lives of LGBTQ+ people —not just in Alberta, not just in Canada, but around the globe.
