Tomorrow evening (Wed., Sept. 23) I will be attending the international premier of Vladimir Kabelik’s documentary, “So Far From Home” at the Signy & Cléophée Eaton Theatre in the Royal Ontario Museum. “So Far From Home” is “a documentary exploring the challenges and dangers faced by five local reporters working in conflict regions. The film documents the journalists’ experiences and their efforts to come to terms with their past and their struggle to build a future in Canada.”
There will be a reception before the screening and a panel discussion afterwards moderated by CBC Radio’s Anna Maria Tremonti. Director Vladimir Kabelik and several of the journalists featured in the film will be in attendance, including my friend, Aaron Berhane – one of the film’s journalists.
Tickets are $15 at the door, or $10 for advance ticketswhich can be purchased by contacting the CJFE office at (416) 515-9622 x.231 or by emailing: [email protected].
