School Program: Grades 4-6

Each of the films in this year’s grade 4-6 program reflect on the act of finding and being true to one’s self. Don’t Label Me and Correcting the Chalkboard confront the stereotypes that many young people face in their daily lives. Dancing into It tells the story of a young Regent Park boy finding the courage to tell the truth. Big Mouth explores finding balance when telling the truth. The whimsical Fusion finds a young man in a humourous race against time to regain his memory. In Traces of Joy, two young girls find solace in their friendship and mutual imaginary friend.

Nov. 12, 1:30 PM at Nelson Mandela Public School and Nov. 14, 9:30 AM at Daniels Spectrum
