SUMMARY:West End Affirm Film Festival – Screening of Small Town Pride
DESCRIPTION:Come out wherever you are.\nSmall Town Pride offers an intimate look at the joys and challenges of being queer in a small town. Filmed in Alberta\, Nova Scotia and the Northwest Territories\, the film follows LGBTQ2S+ people and allies as they prepare for their local Pride celebrations. Organizing in church basements\, classrooms and around kitchen tables\, they take on a conservative town council that won’t fly a rainbow flag and bend some rules to create a safe space for youth to come out. But despite experiences of isolation and discrimination\, they love their communities and strive to make them places where everyone\, no matter who and how they love\, can live and thrive. \nDoors open at 6:30pm\, film starts at 7pm.
