Join us Saturday, August 22, 2026 at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema for a night at the movies and a proper celebration.
Ten years in the making, Bootstraps is a documentary series by Emmy-winning filmmaker Deia Schlosberg that followed eleven households through a multi-year basic income experiment. This is the first look at the finished series, with two episodes on the big screen, followed by a discussion with the filmmakers and some big news from ITSA Foundation and Comingle.
Come for a fun night. Free to attend, with food at the reception and great opportunities to mingle. When the cinema closes, the night carries on at a nearby pub.
Hosted by ITSA Foundation and UBI Works. Reserve your spot above.
