CAPI and Landscapes of Injustice present the BC premiere of France Benoit’s heart-wrenching short film, Kiri’s Piano.

Inspired by Canadian folk singer James Keelaghan’s 1988 song of the same name, the film chronicles one woman’s sacrifice in the face of rampant prejudice tearing her Japanese-Canadian family apart. Kiri’s once joyful piano music turns bitter when forced relocation and internment take away her husband, her home and her family’s simple fishing life along the BC coast.
