Rosalie Abella and Barry Avrich: Documenting a Supreme Life | The Agenda

It is a testament to what's possible in this country, and to the strength and brilliance of an individual, that someone could be born a refugee in a camp in Germany after the Second World War and yet one day, sit on the Supreme Court of Canada. That seemingly impossible journey is the subject of a new film, called "Without Precedent: The Supreme Life of Rosalie Abella." To discuss the film, we welcome now retired Supreme Court justice Rosalie Abella; and the documentary's producer, director, and writer Barry Avrich.
