Velcrow Ripper’s ‘Love versus the G20’

The untold story of the Toronto G8 / G20 Summit. Behind the smoke screen of burning police cars and smashed windows, lies the stuff of a great love story, a story of people coming together in the name of peace, justice and compassion.

Featuring clips from a week of activities counter to the gathering of world leaders, including a People’s Summit, an indigenous march, a toxic tour of toronto, a queer “kiss-in,” prayer vigils, humour and more. With appearances by Maude Barlow, Kimia Ghomeshi, Judy Rebick, John Greyson, Mary Walsh, Jasmine Thomas and more. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Velcrow Ripper. Part of the feature documentary “Evolve Love: Love in a Time of Climate Crisis,” in progress.
