Connexions Calendar

'Long Way Home' - screening & discussion


August 23, 2018 to September 17, 2018


Canadian citizen Abousfian Abdelrazik was abducted and detained in Sudan due to false allegations of terrorism. What does his story teach us about Canada, human rights and the war on terror?

Come see and hear the story of Abousfian Abdelrazik and his fight for justice. Following a screening of the short documentary "The Long Way Home," a panel of experts on human rights will illuminate some of the pressing themes and concerns that Abdelrazik's story raises.

This event is co-presented with Amnesty International & Inspirit Foundation.

Second screening on September 17.

Time: 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM
Venue: Innis Town Hall
Location: 2 Sussex Avenue Toronto, ON
