Description of idea
|
* Legacy of the Heart: A Tribute to June Callwood is a short film honouring legendary Canadian journalist, writer, speaker, and social activist, June Callwood. A true Humanist, philanthropist, and lifetime member of the Humanist Association of Canada, June founded over 50 charitable organizations, the most famous being Casey House - the first hospice in the world for people with HIV/AIDS. With its high standards of excellence and compassion for HIV sufferers and their families, Casey House serves as a model of care for hospitals, nursing homes, and other institutions around the world. Legacy of the Heart premiered at the annual general meeting dinner of the Humanist Association of Canada on October 6, 2007, in Milton, Ontario, and received a standing ovation. In early 2008, Legacy of the Heart was shown at the annual K-W Film Festival and at City Hall. Receiving wide acclaim at both venues, particularly for its cinematography and human interest storyline, Legacy of the Heart was nominated and won two awards later that year: the "Peoples Choice Award" and the "Social Justice" award. Additionally, Legacy of the Heart was shown as a feature presentation at the Princess Twin Cinema in Waterloo. Legacy of the Heart was directed by respected Syrian-Canadian film-maker, Azam Fouk Aladeh, and produced by Chris Meidell, founder and president of Freethought TV.
