Act of Dishonour
In honour of International Women’s Day on March 8, Coquitlam Public Library and Soroptimist International of the TriCities present Act of Dishonour, a drama from the National Film Board of Canada.
Thursday March 8
1:00 - 3:30 p.m. and 6:45 - 8:45 p.m.
Poirier Branch, Nancy Bennett Room
Each screening will be followed by a discussion led by members of the Soroptimist International of the TriCities.
Mena, a young, beautiful bride-to-be, lives in a remote village in northern Afghanistan. Respecting the deeply conservative local customs, she and her fiancé, Rahmat, have little contact yet cherish a special bond.
The arrival of a film crew briefly opens a window on a new world for Mena, a foray beyond the boundaries of convention that leads her inexorably down a dangerous road.
Written and directed by Nelofer Pazira, Act of Dishonour is a compelling drama in which East and West, love and honour, modernity and custom clash with tragic consequences.
