About this program

As Vancouver prepares to host the Fifa World Cup, take a minute to explore a different side to sport by watching this documentary by Paul Émile d'Entremont. In both amateur and professional sports, being gay remains taboo. For some athletes, the pressure to perform is compounded by the further strain of deciding whether or not to come out of the closet. They set out to overcome prejudice in the hopes of changing things for the athletes of tomorrow. The movie runs 6-7.30pm, with the option to stay on for a short discussion between 7.30-8pm.
