South Rock Social Justice provides monthly screenings of documentary movies focused on social justice and activism.The Society began in 2005 as an annual film festival under the stewardship of its founding member, Jack McLachlan, and with the support of the First United Church. In 2010 the SRSJ was granted status as a non-profit society under the BC Society Act.Now in our 20th year SRSJ has screened more than 200 thought-provoking documentary films on issues including the environment, human accelerated climate change, global humanitarianism, health care, political activism, food security, water, and peace. We show films about struggles for control over people, land and resources; films about remarkable heroes and ordinary citizens who respond to challenging circumstances by mobilizing themselves and others into action. We show films that move, inform, and inspire citizens to engage in important issues.The society works alongside and receives support from other organizations dedicated to social justice and community, including the Council of Canadians, Kairos, Amnesty International and the White Rock Arts Council.
