CanFilmDay: Without Precedent
Join us at Simcoe Street Theatre for a special CanFilmDay screening of Without Precedent: The Supreme Life of Rosalie Abella. Often called Canada’s Ruth Bader Ginsburg, former Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Abella shaped landmark decisions on employment equity, same-sex marriage, and human rights. This powerful documentary, directed by Barry Avrich, takes us through her extraordinary journey — from refugee to the first Jewish person and first refugee appointed to Canada’s highest court.
Beyond her trailblazing legal career, Without Precedent captures Rosalie’s bold personality, distinctive style, and unwavering passion for justice. Featuring interviews with Margaret Atwood, Brian Mulroney, Joe Clark, and Rosalie herself, this critically acclaimed film is a must-see for anyone inspired by courage, leadership, and the pursuit of equality.
🎥 Run Time: 80 min | Genre: Documentary | Year: 2023
Celebrate CanFilmDay with this captivating tribute to one of Canada’s most influential figures!
