WITHOUT PRECEDENT: THE SUPREME LIFE OF ROSALIE ABELLA
Tickets STILL AVAILABLE - Please purchase through Hyland online tickets or at the HYLAND BOX OFFICE
"If you don’t already know who Rosalie Abella is, then it is high time you learned – and the best entry point is Without Precedent, a new documentary that explores one extremely remarkable, perhaps underappreciated life." Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail
Acclaimed filmmaker Barry Avrich chronicles the career of Rosalie Abella, the former Supreme Court Justice of Canada, who stood up for many marginalized communities during her long legal career. While Abella speaks candidly as she reflects on her career and marriage to famed historian Irving Abella (who also appears in the film), Without Precedent also features interviews with friends, colleagues and admirers from diverse political and ideological backgrounds, such as Margaret Atwood, Brian Mulroney, Charles Bronfman, Paul Martin, Adam Gopnik and more.
