We actively sought the opinions of the hardest-to-reach communities including: 2SLGBTQ+\, racialized\,  Indigenous\, refugees\, homeless\, incarcerated or formerly incarcerated\, veterans\, institutionalized\, and Northern communities. Many of these stories are difficult to hear. But our job is not only to listen\, but to help them be heard. \nThe film we are screening contains conversations related to childhood trauma\, sexual abuse\, violence\, gangs\, incarceration\, drug addiction\, bullying and suicidal ideation. \nNotice of filming and photography: \nWhen you attend this event\, you enter an area where photography\, audio\, and video recording may occur.
