Festival Artistic Director Cameron Bailey hosts Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis in a conversation about filmmaking and collaborative activism. Includes a sneak peek at Lewis' new documentary, This Changes Everything, inspired by Klein's latest book. A special book signing will follow the event.

With No Logo and The Shock Doctrine, Canadian author and activist Naomi Klein launched big ideas into the world, ideas with the power to shake governments, corporations, and conventional thinking. Her bestselling books have been translated into over twenty-five languages. Avi Lewis has charted a powerful course through culture and politics as a broadcaster and documentary filmmaker. His work at the CBC, Al Jazeera, and Citytv’s The New Music brought sharp context and analysis into the popular arena.

Klein and Lewis have often visualized their ideas on screen, collaborating with each other and with filmmakers as distinguished as Alfonso Cuarón and Michael Winterbottom. For this special onstage conversation, moderated by Festival Artistic Director Cameron Bailey, the couple looks back at their documentary film collaborations on The Take and The Shock Doctrine. We’ll also offer a first glimpse at Lewis’ new film, This Changes Everything, inspired by Klein’s recently published book.
