Neptune Theatre, Controlled Damage: The Story of Civil Rights Icon Viola Desmond. Saturday, January 18: 2:00 pm preceeded by noon Lunch at Moxie’s, 1610 Argyle Street (on your own tab). Controlled Damage explores the life of Canadian civil rights icon Viola Desmond and how her act of bravery in a Nova Scotia movie theatre in 1946 started a ripple effect that is still felt today. An ordinary woman forced to be extraordinary by an unyielding and racist world, Desmond never gave up — despite the personal cost to her and those who loved her. Andrea Scott’s highly theatrical examination of Desmond and her legacy traces the impact she has had on our culture, but also casts light on the slow progress of the fight for social justice and civil rights in Canada.
