Under BC law, anyone wishing to see these unclassified films must be a member of The Documentary Media Society and 18 years of age or older. With your membership ($3), you are entitled to attend any screening in 2012, provided you show your membership card. Memberships are available at theatre venues and ticket outlets during the festival.
