Wind down your week with our fall movie night series featuring award winning Black films.
Join us for Akilla's Escape (2020), an award-winning independent Caribbean-Canadian film on the urban child-soldier. It follows the story of Akilla Brown who captures a fifteen-year-old Jamaican boy in the aftermath of an armed robbery. Over one grueling night, Akilla confronts a cycle of generational violence he thought he escaped.
