Filmmaker Guy Rex Rodgers and the National Film Board present a special screening of the documentary What We Choose To Remember at the new Alanis Obomsawin Theatre on June 9th at 2:00 pm.  

What We Choose to Remember features a cast of over 30 characters whose families arrived in Montreal and Quebec in successive waves of immigration. The oldest families arrived during the period of “the two solitudes,” when Montreal’s population was more than 50% English. They share firsthand accounts decades of political upheaval. 

Guy Rex Rodgers is offering pairs of tickets to the screening to QWF members.
