Two seconds into the bubbling synth sounds of its theme song will have a child of the 1980s or ‘90s exclaiming “Reading Rainbow!” Such is the beloved nature of the classic children’s literary television show that introduced millions of kids to the wonder of books. \n  \nNot only did the series insist on having kids speak to kids about their favourite stories\, Reading Rainbow introduced the world to one of the most adored television hosts of all time\, LeVar Burton. Thanks to his direct\, non-patronizing and\, most importantly\, kind delivery\, Burton became a conduit to learning for children of every background – delving behind the pages to the people\, places\, and things each new story explored. \n  \n“If you’re a reader for life\, then you’re a learner for life. No one can hold sway over you or your mind if you can self-educate.” – LeVar Burton \n  \nAwards: 10 wins\, 2 nominations: \nWinner\, Best International Documentary\, Calgary International Film Festival\, 2022\nWinner\, Audience Award and Richard D.

Then\, Colin Kaepernick took a knee and America lost its mind. Kaep’s knee touched down on the divide between America’s Black and White tectonic plates\, creating an earthquake in the eternal race debate. The aftershocks of his singular gesture have already rippled through the United States for years. \nKaepernick himself answered any and all thoughtful questions for a time\, and then stopped talking.

Kaepernick & America examines the man and his protest\, exploring the remarkable conflict stirred by such a symbolic gesture. \n  \n  \n“Kaepernick\, his metamorphosis and the social issues on view warrant the attention and those themes make this documentary significant.” – Dwight Brown\, DwightBrownInk.com \n  \n  \nAwards: 1 win\, 2 nominations \nWinner\, Audience Award\, AVFest\, Alexander Valley Film Festival\, 2022\nNominated\, Critic’s Choice Documentary Award\, Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards\, 2022\nNominated\, Documentary Competition Award\, Seattle International Film Festival\, 2022 \n  \n \n\nTickets are $12 (service fees/HST included in price). \n\nOnline tickets sold via Ticketpro.\nBy phone at 1-888-655-9090 (Ticketpro).\nFor in-person sales\, Box office is located at Five Points Theatre\, 1 Dunlop Street West.

SUMMARY:TO KILL A TIGER - Five Points Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Day: Sunday\, March 26\, 2023\nTime: 3:30 PM\nVenue: Five Points Theatre\, 1 Dunlop St W\, Barrie\, ON L4N 1A1\n[maxbutton id=”46″ ] \n  \nDocumentary | 125 min. | Canada \nWritten and Directed by Nisha Pahuja\nLanguage: Hindi with English subtitles \n  \nContent advisory: themes and discussion of sexual violence; mature themes; may be disturbing for some viewers \n  \nIn a small Indian village\, Ranjit wakes up to find that his 13-year-old daughter has not returned from a family wedding. A few hours later\, she’s found stumbling home. After being dragged into the woods\, she was raped by three men. Ranjit goes to the police\, and the men are arrested. But Ranjit’s relief is short-lived\, as the villagers and their leaders launch a sustained campaign to force the family to drop the charges. \nA cinematic documentary\, To Kill a Tiger follows Ranjit’s uphill battle to find justice for his child. In India\, where a rape is reported every 20 minutes and conviction rates are less than 30 percent\, Ranjit’s decision to support his daughter is virtually unheard of. With tremendous access\, we witness the emotional journey of an ordinary man facing extraordinary circumstances. A father whose love for his daughter forces a social reckoning that will reverberate for years to come. \n  \n“To Kill a Tiger is a story of how one family’s strength can overcome even the most heinous injustices. Nisha is an incredibly powerful storyteller and her film is a triumph. Everyone should see it.” – Mindy Kaling \n  \n“Sublime.” – Deepa Mehta \n  \nAwards: 3 wins\, 1 nomination \nWinner\, Best Documentary\, Palm Springs International Film Festival\, 2023\nWinner\, Inspiring Voices and Perspectives Feature Film\, Cinéfest Sudbury\, 2022\nWinner\, Amplify Voices Award\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2022\nNominated\, WIFF Prize in Canadian Film\, Windsor International Film Festival\, 2022 \n  \n \n\nTickets are $12 (service fees/HST included in price). \n\nOnline tickets sold via Ticketpro.\nBy phone at 1-888-655-9090 (Ticketpro).\nFor in-person sales\, Box office is located at Five Points Theatre\, 1 Dunlop Street West.
