Movie Night at the Lab - The Land of Ahimsa!
-> 600 Bay St., Toronto, ON M5G 1M6, Canada

Wishbone Animal Rights Lab and We The Free are teaming up once again, this time to bring you "The Land of Ahimsa". Invite your non-vegan friends, family, and co-workers! The concept of Ahimsa -- or respect for all living things and avoidance of violence towards others -- is an age-old concept espoused by many religions. But now with our society's full knowledge of animal exploitation and the atrocities happening in, for example, the dairy and leather industries, can we still call India ‘the land of Ahimsa'? This thought-provoking feature-length documentary brings us the story of Dolly Vyas-Ahuja's journey to veganism and explores the notion of the people of India returning to their roots and living their peaceful values. The filmmakers hope that “The Land of Ahimsa” will encourage Indians, as well as viewers all around the world, to practise “Ahimsa”…and for them to persuade others to do the same. We also have a special treat...one of the editors of the film, Ray Kowalchuk, will be in-theatre to introduce the film and be available for a Q&A at the movie's completion. The Lab is a default-vegan space, so all outside food must be plant-based. Animal-friendly snacks are available at the concession stand. Vish, our little plushie Ambassador of Anti-Speciesism, gets LOTS to eat, so don't let him fool you when he asks for some of your popcorn! FYI: The Lab is located within a heritage building boasting one of the last attendant-operated elevators in the city of Toronto. Unfortunately for this particular event, we are unable to accommodate anyone requiring a lift to the 3rd floor. We are working on remedying this situation for future events held at Wishbone.
