Centre Kapwa is excited to bring back Kapwa Movie Nights again this year for Asian and Filipino Heritage Month.

We are honoured to present, for the first time ever in Montreal, the award-winning documentary INAY (MAMA) by Thea Loo.

With the desire to help answer unresolved questions and heal lingering wounds, INAY (MAMA) investigates the flawed immigration pathways between the Philippines and Canada that kept so many Filipino children from their mothers.

The film will be followed by a post-screening discussion with director Thea Loo and Jeremiah Reyes, moderated by @martinthomasdufresne.

Launched in 2024, Kapwa Movie Nights aim to present films made by Asian and Filipino filmmakers. This is a way to celebrate the creativity within our community, for our stories deserve to be told and put forward, and to expand our perception of movies beyond the mainstream western media by promoting Asian cinema.
