Film Screening & Panel Discussion

Please join us for a free screening of the just-released documentary film Love in the Time of Fentanyl. As deaths in Vancouver, Canada, reach an all-time high, the Overdose Prevention Society opens its doors—a renegade supervised drug consumption site that employs active and former drug users. Its staff and volunteers do whatever it takes to save lives and give hope to a marginalized community in this intimate documentary that looks beyond the stigma of people who use fentanyl and other drugs.

Watch the Trailer

The film will be followed by a panel discussion with Ronnie Grigg, one of the subjects of the film, and Jessica Michalofsky, organizer of Aubrey's Run Across BC to End Toxic Drug Death.

Aubrey’s Run will begin this spring in Nelson, BC, and travel to Victoria, BC, via the Okanagan. Rallies will be held along the way in small and large communities, connecting British Columbians to life-saving information and resources and spreading the message that toxic drug death is preventable. Rallies will raise awareness about the danger of toxic drugs and unite voices in demanding a safe supply for those who struggle.

The screening is free! Donations to Moms Stop the Harm will be gratefully accepted.

In memory of former Selkirk College student Aubrey Michalofsky.
