The Red Deer Justice Film Festival has been in Red Deer since 2008. It is a non-profit event run entirely through sponsorship and donations and is free to the public. ​The vision of the festival promotes awareness of global issues and activate our community through documentary films exploring a range of diverse topics, groups, and perspectives. During the festival weekend, a series of documentaries chosen from a submission pool of more than 1000 filmmakers from over 100 countries is presented over three days Many screenings include a discussion with a speaker - an expert on the film's topic - in order to promote thought-provoking conversations following the film. The festival also hosts an NGO Village - local organizations brought together to provide more education and resources that are accessible right here in Red Deer. Check out their website for the 2020 film schedule.
