Free Online Screening – April 16-17, 2021
“The Father”
CHPCA and Advance Care Planning in Canada, in partnership with Elevation Pictures, is offering a free screening of “The Father”.
There is a point in the relationship between a parent and a child, when the child becomes the caregiver and the parent becomes a dependent. It is at the heart of the story of "The Father". It's a beautifully-directed family drama that brings Oscar winners Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman together in a heart-wrenching tale of what happens when a relationship that has colored every waking day for a lifetime suddenly and irrevocably changes.
