Rails, Jails, and Trolleys – film festival acceptance and screening

We are excited to announce that Rails, Jails, and Trolleys, a SASI-produced film, has been selected by the Feedback Female Film Festival (FFFF). The FFFF is dedicated to showcasing the best of female talent in the film industry.

The film Rails, Jails and Trolleys documents history’s largest farmers’ protest and the Canadian diaspora’s response to it. This ground-breaking documentary captures the electric ethos of a protest that received international attention and the resounding response by Canadians to the movement. A full year in the making, the film tells the story of why and how the farmers’ movement ignited a nation, and youth, women, and men from all over the world.

March 15th screening

On March 15th, the SASI hosted another screening of Rails, Jails, & Trolleys at the UFV Chilliwack campus as part of the UFV Office of Sustainability’s March for Sustainability series.

The screening was followed by a discussion on farmers’ issues in Punjab and India, why this topic is so important to the diaspora, as well as the incredible resilience of the protesters.
