(Vancouver) The BC Lions Football Club is pleased to announce that its documentary feature on the groundbreaking Be More Than a Bystander initiative is now available to both TELUS and Shaw cable subscribers through their respective on-demand services.

The short but powerful documentary looks at the issue of violence against women through the lens of the Be More Than a Bystander program - an initiative which launched in 2011 in partnership with The Ending Violence Association of BC (EVA BC).

Viewers see current and former BC Lions players sharing their personal stories about how they engage with the issue of violence against women, both through intimate personal reflections as well as in their interactions with students in school presentations and events throughout the province. The documentary also includes the analysis of anti-violence experts and community advocates who offer a broad framework for understanding why violence against women is a men's issue.

For TELUS subscribers: go to TV On Demand, then to Optik Local and then to Featured. For Shaw subscribers: use the Shaw VOD button on the remote controller and select Subscriptions, Shaw TV and then Shows.

The Be More Than a Bystander program is made possible with the generous support of Founding Partners: The Government of Canada, BC Ministry of Children and Family Development and Encana Corporation; Supporting Partner: BC Federation of Labour and Municipal Partners: City of Vancouver and City of Surrey.
