Rising: 50 Years & Going Strong

2019 was a very significant celebration for LGBTQ+ rights internationally with the 50 year anniversary of Stonewall and in Canada the the 50th anniversary of the Criminal Law Amendment Act (also known as Bill C-150) Many will argue that these events are not the origins of the Queer rights movement as many strides were made prior to 1969 and the Stonewall riot but this is defiantly an anniversary worth celebrating when the world finally took note and the fight for equality began on a global level. This film documents the work the Never Apart platform showcased in galleries and also follows folks in Toronto, Vancouver and New York city where World Pride and Stonewall 50 parades and protests took place.

Directed by Michael Venus
