Monday Night at the Movies – Rosie – Rated 14A
April 17 @ 4:30 pm
Métis writer-director-actor Gail Maurice’s feature film debut tells the story of a suddenly orphaned Indigenous girl and her newly chosen family in Montreal in the 1980s.
Rosie is a visibly Indigenous, English-speaking, sweet and headstrong little girl whose mother has just died. A children’s services agent brings her to her only living relative, her francophone aunt Frédèrique. “Fred” doesn’t have a solid foundation on which to raise a child. She is unprepared – she’s working at an adult entertainment shop and threatened with eviction – and is at first unwilling to take on caring for her adopted sister’s young daughter.
$10 cash, at BookLore or Galaxy Cinemas on film night.
