Dawn, Her Dad and the Tractor - 7pm

Tickets by donation at the door

Join us for this SPECIAL fundraiser screening of this Atlantic Canadian film by Wolfville’s own Shelley Thompson, to celebrate the TRANS DAY OF VISIBILITY.

ALL funds raised will be donated to The Dawn Fund which was created in collaboration with Phoenix Youth Programs to help support trans youth community in the region.

Director Shelley Thompson will join us for special Q & A after the screening.

When a young woman with a startling resemblance to John Andrew's wife Miranda appears days before her funeral, John Andrew MacGinnis begins an odyssey towards understanding. His son Donald is now Dawn, home to mourn her mother and repair the estrangement with her Dad. An ancient tractor becomes a focus for the mechanically-minded Dawn, but John Andrew's long-simmering resentments about the tractor heighten family tensions. As they restore the family tractor Dawn and her Dad cautiously rebuild their relationship and come to understand the mechanics of the heart.

Masks are recommended.
