Join us for an indy documentary followed by an after party at TARG, all in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Tickets include film, after party drink and bite, and a $25 tax receipt.

This documentary profiles poet/performance artist Bob Flanagan, who was born with cystic fibrosis. Flanagan explains, with engaging humor, how his obsession with controlled, self-inflicted pain has helped him to deal with his uncontrollable suffering. His philosophy forces one to look at sado-masochism with fresh eyes. The film was released in the 90s and has won several industry awards, including at the Sundance Film Festival.

We are raising funds needed to support crucial CF research, care and advocacy which improves the quality of life for Canadians affected by this devastating disease. Cystic fibrosis is the most common, fatal genetic disease affecting children and young Canadians. There is no cure. Currently there are 130 children in Ottawa living with cystic fibrosis and over 150 adults.
