The Red Pill - Grande Prairie Screening
Event Information
Description
CAFE Edmonton and ECMAS (Equitable Child Maintenance and Access Society) present:
THE RED PILL in GRANDE PRAIRIE!!!
About the RED PILL: When feminist filmmaker Cassie Jaye sets out to document the mysterious and polarizing world of the Men’s Rights Movement, she begins to question her own beliefs. Jaye had only heard about the Men’s Rights Movement as being a misogynist hate-group aiming to turn back the clock on women’s rights, but when she spends a year filming the leaders and followers within the movement, she learns the various ways men are disadvantaged and discriminated against. The Red Pill challenges the audience to pull back the veil, question societal norms, and expose themselves to an alternate perspective on gender equality, power and privilege.
After the film, CAFE Edmonton and ECMAS will present Karen Straughan of Edmonton, to do a one hour Q&A with the Grande Prairie audience. She is a popular YouTuber who has been around the world discussing men's issues. A local of Alberta, we are pleased to bring her to Grande Prairie for an interactive discussion. She is a key feature of the Red Pill documentary.

Organizer Canadian Association for Equality
Organizer of The Red Pill - Grande Prairie Screening
The Canadian Association for Equality is committed to achieving equality for all Canadians, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, family status, race, ethnicity, creed, age or disability.
In particular, we are interested in marginalized gender issues, especially those concerning men and boys. While we support all efforts at achieving gender equality, we work by focusing our limited resources on those areas of gender which are understudied in contemporary culture.
This has led us to a current focus on the status, health and well-being of boys and men, where attention, investment and support for educational and social programs stands at a level that is far from equal to the seriousness of the problem. These issues of men and boys are underdeveloped compared to other important areas of social progres.
We provide current and evidence-based research and information. We also provide opportunities for discussions and family-friendly activities. We sincerely believe the goal of true equality and human rights is best served by conducting inclusive conversations based on facts and evidence, and not by promoting ideology or special interest agendas.
A diverse group of women and men volunteer at CAFE! Find our website here!
