Opening night will also include, Carnival and Social Justice, a short film by Kingsway Project. Carnivals are an expression of freedom that attract tourists from around the world to hosting cities. The celebrations are vibrant & colorful with parades, music & food, but have a much deeper importance. Carnivals have an important social, political, and cultural role in our society. WCFF celebrates that role.
