Description

For International Women's Day, we'll be gathering to celebrate one of our favourite Canadian Directors and send some good mojo her way for a win at this year's Oscars!

Sarah Polley's "Stories We Tell" is an investigation into the elusive truth buried within the contradictions of a family of storytellers. Using a mix of interviews and home movies, Polley delves into a family secret. While exploring the greater truths that lie between the conflicting narratives, she creates an intriguing profile of her family, especially her complicated late mother, and paints a touching portrait of a complex network of relatives, friends, and strangers.
