This powerful documentary tells the story of six unsung heroes of the Canadian civil rights movement, among them Viola Desmond and Fred Christie. Across two decades from the 1930s to the 1950s, these brave and pioneering activists risked so much in order to secure justice for all. The film will be preceded by a short introductory talk.
