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
Tickets to the film include general museum admission. Arrive early to take advantage of your complimentary admission and visit the galleries. Be sure to check out the Delwin Vriend exhibit in our Human History Hall. Plus, this may be your last chance to visit Orcas: Our Shared Future before it closes on October 19!
