Regent Park Film Festival’s Fundraising Screening
October 22, 2015 @ 6:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$50
Regent Park Film Festival’s Annual Fundraising Screening, featuring 2015 Hot Docs Film Mom and Me
Mom and Me, directed by Lena Macdonald, produced by Gordon Henderson and Lena Macdonald.
Mom and Me is a personal and intimate documentary about a young filmmaker coming of age in extraordinary circumstances. It follows the complicated relationship between director Lena Macdonald and her mother, who was once a filmmaker herself, but ended up homeless, crack-addicted and on the streets. For ten years Lena filmed in the cold, hard streets of Toronto’s inner city and her story is raw, honest and unforgettable. MOM and ME is about addiction, prostitution and despair but it is also a story about family, the power of hope and the tenacity of love.
