SUMMARY:A Mother Apart -  Millennium Library (Winnipeg Public Library main 
 branch)
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES annual programming\, the Millen
 nium Library (Winnipeg Public Library main branch)  is presenting the fol
 lowing film:\nA Mother Apart | Director: 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 identities—poet\, activist\, lesbian\, J
 amaican American\, mother. But the most complicated of all is “daughter.
 ”\n\nIn an extraordinary tale of grace and forgiveness\, filmmaker Lauri
 e Townshend profiles one woman’s inspired and deeply intentional parenti
 ng. A Mother Apart catches up with 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 fin
 d the sense of home she’s been longing for. A healing journey spanning t
 hree generations\, the film is punctuated with vivid animation\, imagery f
 rom personal archives and excerpts from Staceyann’s arresting live perfo
 rmances. Her singularly intersectional voice\, showcased in the legendary
  Def Poetry Slam and hit solo shows like MotherStruck!\, infuses A Mo
 ther Apart with deep compassion and commanding intelligence.\n\nA Mother 
 Apart (Trailer)\n\n\n_______\n\nFREE SCREENING\nTo have more information o
 n this screening\, consult the library's website.
