VICTORIA 香蕉视频直播� A man behind a 香蕉视频直播渏ustice-pricing香蕉视频直播� policy based on charging higher admission to white males attending the screening of his movie says he used a false name to promote it because he was concerned about a backlash that could risk his safety.

Shiraz Higgins said Wednesday he has received death threats at an email account he created with the false name Sid Mohammed and admitted he used the pseudonym in an interview with The Canadian Press a day earlier.

However, Higgins, 27, said organizers of the premiere are sticking to their justice-pricing model to charge white males $15, while others pay $10 based on the purchasing power of individual groups and 香蕉视频直播減rice discrimination.香蕉视频直播�

The 70-minute documentary-style movie is a behind-the-scenes look at comedians putting on a stand-up show, he said.

Higgins said while there has been criticism, he has also heard from women who said they pay more than men for goods and services, including hair cuts and hygienic and cosmetic products.

Organizers are considering 香蕉视频直播渁daptations香蕉视频直播� to better reflect the reality of prices, but couldn香蕉视频直播檛 say if they would be changed, he said.

No one from the 225-seat Roxy Theatre where the movie is scheduled to be shown on Sept. 28 could be reached for comment.

Any profits from the door will be donated to the Native Friendship Centre of Victoria and the Victoria Pride Society, Higgins said.

He said the movie was funded by Telus Optik, which supports local filmmakers with grants.
