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 2SLGBTQI+ people everywhere.
Pride vs. Prejudice: The Delwin Vriend Story delves into the riveting Vriend v. Alberta court case, where Delwin Vriend courageously battled discrimination from a government determined to deny his human rights. Uncover the twists and turns that unfold as Vriend's pursuit of justice challenges the biases of some Canadians, culminating in a groundbreaking 1998 ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada that set a transformative precedent for 2SLGBTQI+ rights.
Produced by the Edmonton Community Foundation and the Edmonton Queer History Project, Pride vs. Prejudice is a story of resilience, human rights and social change.
Join us after the film for a panel talk with the film’s writer/director, Darrin Hagen.
