There's a ton of great films, speakers, book launches and panel discussions at the 4th Annual Free Thinking Festival 2013. Here are the highlights:
An Evening with Barbara Kay - one of Canada's finest columnists. Meet her in person and get her book autographed.
An explosive evening on China Cyber Spying. On Saturday, November 2nd, we'll have a new film about China cyber spying in Australia, followed by an incredible panel of experts - including Brian Shields, who oversaw IT security at Nortel, and Richard Bejtlich, Chief Security Officer for Mandiant Corporation, the company that actually identified the exact buildings the Chinese spy from.
Comedy at the Festival - Comedian Rodney Ramsey will be presenting his films making fun of the crazy language police in Quebec. We also have two comedy documentaries - "The Sheik and I" about a filmmaker who exposes the lack of free speech in the United Arab Emirates; and "The Ambassador" about the selling of diplomatic titles in the Central African Republic.
Two Book launches - Barbara Kay's new book "Acknowledgements" and Elizabeth Nickson's "Eco-Fascists: How Conservationists are ruining our environment." Get both of these book autographed.
Orchestra of Exiles: An amazing film about how one violinist saved the best Jewish musicians during WWII and brought them all to Palestine.
Broken Soldiers: A documentary on how Canada's vets aren't getting the treatment they deserve.
"Collision: Free Speech and Religion", a film and panel discussion on the intersection of religion and free speech. Joining us on the panel will be Danish human rights lawyer Jacob Mchangama, Ottawa Citizen columnist Terry Glavin, and one of the most active person in Ottawa working on democracy, David Kilgour.
We'll end the Festival on a positive note with the film, "Delicious Peace Grows in a Ugandan Coffee Bean", a film about a coffee coop in Uganda where Christians, Muslims and Jews work together in harmony. Our guest speaker for the evening will be J.J. Keki, the leader of the Jewish Abayudaya Community. And, we'll be serving his Ugandan coffee at the reception afterwards.
