Monkey Beach, based on the novel by the same name, is a supernatural mystery. Layering tragedy, humor and redemption, it tells the story of Lisa, a rebellious young woman who must accept her true heroic nature in order to save Jimmy, her brother who is lost at sea. Monkey Beach is set in the magnificent forests and waterways of the Pacific Northwest and the Haisla village of Kitamaat. Haisla cultural stories are woven into the contemporary lives of Lisa and her family, along with a cast of otherworldly characters including ghosts and Sasquatches -- the 'monkeys' of Monkey Beach. Anne Wheeler, Canadian Filmmaker and Executive Producer of the fim will be present to introduce the film and take questions afterwards.
