WEBCAST TIMES IN YOUR REGION:

When a prominent Kitasoo/Xai’Xais activist passes away, his 14-year-old niece Ella (Blaney) embarks on a kayak journey to take his ashes home to Klemtu. She’s joined by her aunt, cousin and grumpy uncle in a race against the clock as they try to make it back in time for Ella to give a speech protesting a proposed pipeline that would cross Indigenous land.

“I think all schools should see this film.” — Grade 11 student, Catholic Central High School, Windsor, ON

Thrilling yet emotionally powerful, Remember follows retired veteran Zev Guttman (Plummer), who is asked to fulfill his friend’s dying wish: to hunt down a Nazi that has escaped capture for decades following World War II, and thus close their painful, personal chapter of the Holocaust. But as Guttman suffers from memory loss, shining light on this history reveals secrets even darker than he could have expected. “Everybody was gasping or screaming or holding their breath.” — Grade 10 student, John Oliver SS, Vancouver, BC
