M21 is the U.N. International day for the elimination of racial discrimination. We had an event at UVic. Here are some photos. The panel was on sexual identity and it’s various intersections with racial identity. This event was organized SOCC but antidote was co-organizing or perhaps endorsing it. Uh. We partnered with SOCC.

An insightful feature length documentary film, made by adolescent girls, that explores the issue of female body image and its correlation with eating disorders.
The film gives the viewer a firsthand perspective of Jessica and Shannon’s battles with anorexia while lending itself to the professional opinions of counsellors and dieticians who work with adolescent women. It also explores the reality and insights of pre-adolescent girls who, prior to making this film, thought very little about the perception of female body image within our society.
The film approaches the concept of female body image and its correlation with eating disorders from a totally pre-adolescent perspective, as it was made by a small group of 12-year-old girls in Kitimat, BC, with the supervision and support of two volunteers who work as child & youth clinical counsellors.
