Cohort One @Calgary Justice Film Festival (CJFF)

FILM SYNOPSIS: Three formerly incarcerated men, transformed through education and restorative justice, journey from prison cells to campus classrooms as they rebuild their lives on the outside while pursuing a college degree.

CULTURE IN ACTION: This year marks the inaugural year of CJFF's Culture in Action initiative, filling The Confluence with art and performance for all three days of the festival. We invite you to arrive early and stay late to experience the full CJFF experience that brings justice stories to life.

BE EARLY!: CJFF is entirely free, and so we open a few extra spots to make sure our seats are full. Registration does not guarantee a seat, so please arrive early. Seating is first come, first served. Find all films and times here: https://justicefilmfestival.ca/cjff-2026-films.

USE OF IMAGES ADVISORY: Photographs, video, and recordings will be taken by CJFF and the public throughout this event and published online.
