SUMMARY:A Mother Apart -  Cambridge Public Library
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES annual programming\, the Cambri
 dge Public Library is presenting the following film:\nA Mother Apart | Dir
 ector: Laurie Towshend | 2024 | 1 h 29 mins\n\n\n“My mother’s leaving
  me was the first wound.”\n\nStaceyann Chin embodies multiple complex id
 entities—poet\, activist\, lesbian\, Jamaican American\, mother. But the
  most complicated of all is “daughter.”\n\nIn an extraordinary tale of
  grace and forgiveness\, filmmaker Laurie Townshend profiles one woman’s
  inspired and deeply intentional parenting. A Mother Apart catches up wit
 h Staceyann as she picks up the trail of her elusive mother—a trail that
  leads to Brooklyn\, Montreal\, Cologne and\, finally\, back to her native
  Jamaica. Along the way she just may find the sense of home she’s been l
 onging for. A healing journey spanning three generations\, the film is pun
 ctuated with vivid animation\, imagery from personal archives and excerpts
  from Staceyann’s arresting live performances. Her singularly intersecti
 onal voice\, showcased in the legendary Def Poetry Slam and hit solo sho
 ws like MotherStruck!\, infuses A Mother Apart with deep compassion an
 d commanding intelligence.\n\nA Mother Apart (Trailer)\n\n\n_______\n\nFRE
