OPEN CINEMA and FOCUS Magazine present ELECTION DAY IN CANADA: When Voter Suppression Comes Calling.

A special documentary work-in-progress preview & forum on electoral fraud in Canada. Peter Smoczynski is an award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker. He’s coming to Victoria to preview, and ask for your support for, his important new film on the worst electoral fraud in Canadian history.

ELECTION DAY IN CANADA examines the dramatic rise of voter suppression in Canada during the 2011 Federal Election, the aftermath to the present day Fair Elections Act. Peter will show selected clips from his work-in-progress for discussion purposes.
