In recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Innis College and the Cinema Studies Institute present a special screening of Aberdeen on September 30. Actor Billy Merasty will join for a post-screening Q&A.
Aberdeen is a raw, authentic feature drama interwoven with pockets of humor that shines a light on the indomitable Aberdeen; a middle-aged Indigenous climate change refugee who has been forced from her home due to flooding. As Aberdeen begrudgingly adjusts to big-city life, she must face the inter-generational cycle of trauma that has been tearing her family apart for 5 generations in order to protect her grandchildren.
