Events › Pride Week Film - Parade: Queer Acts of Love and Resistance

In celebration of Pride Week, Richmond Public Library's Film Club invites you to join us for a screening of the new documentary Parade: Queer Acts of Love and Resistance.

About the Film: 

Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance captures pivotal moments that sparked Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ movement, honouring the activists and elders whose resistance led to the rights we have today. Through rarely seen archival footage and first-person accounts, audiences are brought to the frontlines of the struggle. From police raids to early drag shows, community organizing to the House of Commons—the complex history of the country’s diverse communities is brought to life. Key milestones illustrate the power of taking it into the streets and underscore how easily the rights we’ve fought for can be revoked, making the documentary essential viewing for all Canadians. Unflinching, bold, enraging, hopeful; Parade is a vital new chapter in the queer canon.

Rating: PG 13

Runtime: 1hr 36m
