New Documentary Status Quo? Screens in Cities Across Canada

Status Quo?, a new documentary by Karen Cho, addresses the issue of feminism in modern Canadian society by taking a hard look at three key concerns – violence against women, access to abortion and universal childcare. By opening the film with a look back at our history, Cho begins with the assumption that feminism has shaped the society we live in, but then questions just how far we’ve come.

Starting on Sunday, February 17, the film will be shown at community screenings across Canada. Watch the trailer and then check the schedule below for the date and time in your city.

  1. Very disappointing documentary. Karen Cho admits she had a lot to learn about feminism when she began this documentary, and it does show. I was expecting a higher level of insight and analysis.
