Refugees making their way from Syria to Sweden in black tie. A drag queen fighting against the rigid structures of a Catholic country. Communities resisting pipelines and mega-projects. Documentary films have much to tell us about the world around us!

The Just Film Festival takes place March 30 – April 1, bringing compelling stories about social justice and human rights to Vancity Theatre, featuring themes ranging from the migrant crisis to the human toll of the actions of extractive industries in developing countries.
