Documentary

Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance captures pivotal moments that sparked Canada’s LGBTQ+ movement, honouring the activists and elders whose resistance led to the rights we have today. Through rarely seen archival footage and first-person accounts (including interviews with filmmakers John Greyson, Richard Fung and politician Sven Robinson, to name a few), 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: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance is a vital new chapter in the queer canon.
