This is it! I was nobody's fool when I cut footloose to the danger zone and saw "Kenny Loggins: Conviction of the Heart" at the #HotDocs documentary film festival for the first time. During the Q&A filmmaker Dori Berinstein remarked on how the walls of the Loggins home were filled not with his numerous awards but pictures of his family.

Kicked off this year's #HotDocs documentary film festival with #TheSecretReadingClubOfKabul about a group of young Afghan women who form an underground book club after their right to formal education was taken away with the return of the Taliban. The screening was followed by an insightful Q&A with the filmmakers Shakiba Adil and Elina Hirvonen.

In Canada, the histories of residential school survivors are being challenged by a surge of denialism. Dismantling Denialism confronts those attempts to rewrite history — and explores what it will take to defend truth and reconciliation.

In the midst of a global uprising against police brutality and systemic racism, No Visible Trauma examines a deeply troubled police department and reveals the devastating consequences of unchecked police brutality. Despite its relatively low crime rates, recent years have seen the Calgary Police Service shoot and kill more people than officers in any other Canadian city, and more than either the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. Five years in the making, the film unravels the intertwined stories of three individuals who were the victims of extreme violence at the hands of police officers. From the kidnapping and beating of a young immigrant from Ghana, to the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a “wellness check”, the film exposes a criminal justice system that fails to hold police officers accountable for their actions.
Directors: Marc Serpa Francoeur, Robinder Uppal
Writers: Marc Serpa Francoeur, Robinder Uppalhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5ktKrNvJnuQ
This doc focuses on CalgaryPD but the issues raised are happening across AB, in BC, Manitoba, Ontario & many more places across Canada. Canadian cops keep getting away with crimes & human rights abuses, daily, in Canada. Systemic racism is still a major problem across the country - no matter how much our governments try to whitewash their PR.

Aisha’s Story
October 2 at 7:00 pm
Regular Passes Not Accepted – All Seats $8.00.Aisha Azzam and her husband started their family grain mill in Baqa’a refugee camp, Jordan, 35 years ago. She treasures her role in safeguarding culture by milling the wheat and herbs essential to Palestinian cuisine and passing on her knowledge to the next generation. Through food, Aisha traces the story of Palestinian displacement and rebuilding family and community in a refugee camp. Harvesting, milling, cooking, and feasts ground the film’s arc of displacement, longing, and resistance. In Aisha’s words, “Food is what keeps us together as Palestinians.”
