Mpowerment and Chill (2nd Date)

This event is located on the traditional territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Tsleil-Waututh.

Mpowerment and Chill means movie night! This a social event where young gay, bi, and queer guys come together to watch and discuss queer-themed films. The theme for this 2nd edition of Mpowerment and Chill is “Places and Cultures”. We will be showing an episode of “Gaycation” and “Indonesia’s Transsexual Muslims” a documentary by Vice. 

“Gaycation” follows gay icon Ellen Page, as she and her friend set off on a journey to explore different LGBTQ cultures around the world. “Indonesia’s Transexual Muslims” is a short documentary where host Hannah Brooks reveals to us her journey to the Senin-Kamis School, anIslamic school for Indonesian transsexuals.

We will be having post-film discussions afterwards. Snacks will be provided. Come, watch, discuss, and chill. 

The films will be presented with subtitles.
