Aberdeen - Now in Theatres!
Only two more days to catch up the powerful Aberdeen in Winnipeg theatres!
ICYMI, here's a review from The Manitoban by Thandi Vera:
Aberdeen: A powerful story of survival and resilience
Aberdeen, the feature directorial debut from Ryan Cooper and Eva Thomas, made waves at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) with its gripping portrayal of survival and intergenerational trauma.
Filmed in Winnipeg, the movie star Gail Maurice, known for her work in Bones of Crows, in an impactful performance as Aberdeen, an Indigenous woman battling systemic failures and fighting to reclaim her family.
Set against the familiar backdrop of Winnipeg’s streets, Aberdeen tells a story that resonates deeply. The film centres on the eponymous character, whose life of hardship has left her homeless and disconnected from her grandchildren.
Through her struggles, the audience is exposed to the harsh realities many face within a system that is meant to support but often only serves to strip individuals of their dignity and identity. Maurice’s portrayal of Aberdeen is both heartbreaking and empowering, offering a raw depiction of a woman fighting for her place in the world.
