And a screening of the short documentary film “We Remember Them” by Axelle Demus and Alexander Granger.

“We Remember Them” is a short experimental film about Toronto’s opioid epidemic and Doug Ford’s decision to cut funding for overdose prevention sites in the province of Ontario. Shot on both on film and digital and divided into three interrelated parts, the film is a powerful and poetic exploration of the crisis.
