Celebrate National Canadian Film Day at the library.

April 16 is National Canadian Film Day and we are celebrating by screening Ru (2023).

Registration is required.

About the film:

A family of Vietnamese refugees settles in Montreal in the hopes of starting a new life, charting successes and setbacks as they adapt to their new country. The film weaves together their experiences in Canada with a series of flashbacks to their comfortable life in Vietnam, the political upheaval that forced them to flee, and their perilous journey across the Pacific.

Brilliantly adapted from Kim Thúy’s Governor General Award-winning novel of the same name, this compassionate story of resilience in the face of adversity is uplifting and deeply moving.

“An exceptional and beautiful film.” – Isobel Grieve, Montréal Guardian
