SOCDOCS LogoThe Foundation’s latest partnership unfolds at The University of Waterloo Stratford Campus on May 23rd .

Now in its’ 4th year, SOCDOCS Documentary Film Festival celebrates and enriches young filmmakers in their pursuit to creatively promote equality, democracy, and solidarity for a just, peaceful and compassionate society.

The Festival is founded by teacher John Esposito and buoyed this year by organizations like the National Film Board of Canada, the Foundation for Education, University of Waterloo Stratford Campus, Rogers TV and Mornington Communications.
