Good Pitch Vancouver Virtual
Good Pitch Vancouver Virtual is an online version of Good Pitch that will continue building support for the impact campaigns of Good Pitch Vancouver films while adapting to the current social conditions caused by COVID-19. As Good Pitch Vancouver is a national program, these virtual events create an opportunity to introduce our films, which are from across the country, to a geographically distributed network by leveraging the communication highway of Zoom.
The Films
THE WORLD IS BRIGHT
The Dengs and their personal journey expose the vulnerability to mental illness that the act of immigration creates. Their negotiations with their relationship, different cultures, grief and family penetrate to the heart of the immigrant experience.
CONVICTION

FIRST WE EAT
Putting food sovereignty to the test in the far North of Canada, filmmaker Suzanne Crocker banned all grocery store food from her house for a year and fed her family only food that could be hunted, foraged, fished, trapped, grown or raised around Dawson City, Yukon, capturing the attention of others who also believe in the surprising bounty of the North.
THE MAGNITUDE OF ALL THINGS
A cinematic exploration of the emotional and psychological dimensions of climate change, this film weaves together two powerful stories of grief: the death of the filmmaker's sister and the tragic state of climate change, provoking viewers to find meaning - and meaningful action - in our troubled and changing world.
FOOD FOR THE REST OF US
From a farm in Hawaii, to greenhouses in the Arctic, and one of the only female kosher butchers in the world, this film tells compelling stories about people who are using food to fight for a better world, despite a society that alienates us from that which nourishes and sustains us.
THE KLABONA KEEPERS
