SUMMARY:A Mother Apart - Saint John Free Public Library
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES annual programming\, the Saint 
 John Free Public Library  is presenting the following film to highlight B
 lack History Month:\nA Mother Apart | Director: Laurie Towshend | 2024 | 
 1 h 29 mins\n\n\n“My mother’s leaving me was the first wound.”\n\nSt
 aceyann Chin embodies multiple complex identities—poet\, activist\, lesb
 ian\, Jamaican American\, mother. But the most complicated of all is “da
 ughter.”\n\nIn an extraordinary tale of grace and forgiveness\, filmmake
 r Laurie Townshend profiles one woman’s inspired and deeply intentional 
 parenting. A Mother Apart catches up with Staceyann as she picks up the t
 rail of her elusive mother—a trail that leads to Brooklyn\, Montreal\, C
 ologne and\, finally\, back to her native Jamaica. Along the way she just 
 may find the sense of home she’s been longing for. A healing journey spa
 nning three generations\, the film is punctuated with vivid animation\, im
 agery from personal archives and excerpts from Staceyann’s arresting liv
 e performances. Her singularly intersectional voice\, showcased in the leg
 endary Def Poetry Slam and hit solo shows like MotherStruck!\, infuses
  A Mother Apart with deep compassion and commanding intelligence.\n\nA M
 other Apart (Trailer)\n\n\n_______\n\nFREE SCREENING\nTo have more informa
 tion on this screening\, consult the library's Facebook's page.
