Title: Without Precedent: The Supreme Life of Rosalie Abella  - (Canada - 2023) - (1h 20m) ** English with English subtitles.

 As a fierce advocate for human rights, Rosalie Abella casts a long shadow. This lively documentary explores her life and career trajectory, including her successes as an attorney and judge, culminating with her historic appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada, which made her both the first refugee and first Jewish person ever to sit on the country’s highest court. Featuring interviews with Margaret Atwood, Brian Mulroney, Joe Clark and, of course, Rosalie herself, this critically-acclaimed film from Barry Avrich is the perfect introduction to one of Canada’s most important figures.

Join us for a documentary screening, introduced by acclaimed Director Barry Avrich and Award-Winning Producer Mark Selby, followed by a Q&A with our guests.
