Part of the FRANCOPHONE FILM CELEBRATION
New England premiere
The lives of an Algerian immigrant family in present-day Montreal are turned upside down in this riveting twist on Sophocles’s classical Greek tragedy— a social commentary about police brutality, the immigration debate, and what it means to be a citizen. You don’t have to know the play in order to appreciate the film! Canada’s submission for the Best International Feature Film Oscar.
Speaker: Erin Trahan, an arts reporter for WBUR and The Artery specializing in independent film, as who regularly takes her adult education classes to film festivals, especially to Montreal.
Directed by Sophie Deraspe
