RATED Y FOR YOUTH

“I have never been to DOXA before, but the experience was much more memorable than going to the cinema and

watching Hollywood’s newest creation. Before the visit, I just assumed the documentaries were going to be ‘boring’…This was a very educational visit and I look forward to DOXA.”

- Grade 8 Student, Vancouver High School
