Tomorrow, Hugh Hefner - Playboy, Activist and Rebel opens in cinemas across Canada.  At the 7.15pm screening at the Cumberland in Toronto, Oscar-winning director, Brigitte Berman will be hosting a Q&A.  

Today, on CBC Radio's "Q," Terry O'Reilly, sitting in for Jian Ghomeshi, asks some interesting questions of Hef, such as:  Does he feel responsible for women's negative body image by celebrating the unatainable perfect female form?  And how did he become involved with the Civil Rights movement?  

Hef claims to have been on the forefront of the Sexual Revolution, since Playboy began in the fifties, well before the 60's free love took over youth culture.  

It was interesting to hear Hefner connect the feminist backlash he received with Playboy to the Puritan history of the United States, and the connection between the Temperence movement and the Suffrage movement, and that in 1920 Prohibition came into effect and then women got the vote.  His opinions on feminism are worth a listen, even if you don't agree with him.
