Documentary on queer immigrants, Last Chance, streams free in honour of Human Rights Day

By Simon Thibault • November 28, 2012 10:29 pm EDT

In September of this year, I had the opportunity to interview and write about filmmaker Paul-Émile d’Entremont’s latest work, Last Chance, about the risks and difficulties queer immigrants face in this country.

Now, the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) has announced that in honour of Human Rights Day on Dec 10, d’Entremont’s film will be available free online from Dec 7 until the 9th.

If you were unable to catch the film at the Atlantic Film Festival in Halifax, at Image+Nation in Montreal or at any of the other screenings, this is a great opportunity.
