Justice4Reel is a curated, public film and arts festival scheduled for June 26–28, 2026, at the Ortona Arts Hub in Edmonton. Designed to bridge the gap between abstract human rights and our lived local realities in the heart of Alberta, this three-day journey fosters reflection, shared dialogue, and coordinated civic action.

1:00 pm | Doors Open: Community gathering and networking. (in person only)


2:00 pm – 4:30 pm | Documentary screening, Human Rights In Alberta: Fact or Fiction? by Dignity Forum, This powerful film chronicles the shameful human rights history in Alberta and highlights the positive efforts taken to overcome the toxicity inherent in a society where prejudice and discrimination are pervasive. (hybrid).  


6:00 pm – 9:00 pm | Two documentary screenings, Breaking Stigma by Heidy Panameno: our current system of hierarchy is set up to fail. We need Holistic Humanely addressed systems. Munto Wiyasowewin. Three people. Three lives. One country. We are connected. 


The second documentary is Victoria Ka Raja by Ayilya Thampuran: a documentary that follows Badshah, the first Indian Drag King in Canada, as they navigate identity, culture, and self-expression through performance.


The films will be followed by a community discussion (hybrid).
