The World Community Film Festival is coming to Kelowna!
From March 1-4, over 20 documentary films will be showcased.
On March 1, there will be a special film showing at the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society.
This film will be the Carlos Santana-produced “Dolores” that will showcase the life of Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers Union.
The remaining films will be shown at the Okanagan College.
Other films will address topics such as the housing crisis, environmental protection, farm coops and organic agriculture, indigenous issues and rainbow diversity.
A full list of films and viewing times can be found online.
An Activist Arena where people can find out about local activists groups will also be part of the festival.
Food will also be available during the viewings.
The volunteer committee has maintained a “free admission-education is a right” policy for the last 15 years however donations will be accepted for local charities.
“The film festival offers an antidote to both ignorance and demoralization-a chance to spend “community time” with your friends and neighbors, while turning attention to the compelling topics of the films,” said Mark Haley a festival volunteer.
