Cinema Politica will host an encore screening of Unarmed Verses in honour of late filmmaker Charles Officer, who passed in late 2023.

Unarmed Verses (Charles Officer | 2016 | 85 min)

This feature documentary presents a thoughtful and vivid portrait of a community facing imposed relocation. At the centre of the story is the remarkable, astute and luminous 12-year-old Francine Valentine, whose poignant observations about life, the soul, and the power of art give voice to those rarely heard in society. Unarmed Verses is a cinematic rendering of our universal need for self-expression and belonging.
