ThGirlfriende Canadian Down Syndrome Society invites you to the screening of the award winning film Girlfriend, at the Plaza Theatre in Calgary on Saturday, March 10, 2012.

Described by the Toronto Film Festival as, “…a gentle yet complex exploration of the nature of love…”, Girlfriend is a moving film about Evan, a man with Down syndrome, and the emotional journey he takes as a man in love. First time actor and self-advocate Evan Sneider stars in this film, which debuted at the Toronto Film Festival in 2010.

Tickets will cost $11 with a donation to the Canadian Down Syndrome Society; tickets without a donation are $1. We recommend that audience members over 18 years old attend the film screening, due to violence, language, and sexuality.
