June is Pride month, and Marda Loop Justice Film Festival is celebrating with two impressive documentary features. A vivid historic feature, Sex, Sin & 1969, taps queer academics, historians, artists and more to dive into the 1969 legislation to “decriminalize” sexuality in Canada. Short film Key of T follows Ari Agha, a trans singer forced to choose between their love and who they are when testosterone therapy threatens to compromise their singing voice. Don’t switch off after the screenings—stick around for an exclusive interview with community activist, author and founder of the Calgary Gay History Project, Kevin Allen.
