A movie described as a “feel-good anti-rom-com” is on screen for the next Last Monday at the Movies outing.
The Arts Council of New Westminster’s film series continues Monday, June 27 at Massey Theatre with a screening of Run Woman Run.
The movie tells the story of single mother Beck (Dakota Ray Hebert), whose steady diet of doughnuts, pizza, cake and cigarettes lands her in a diabetic coma. Then she receives an unexpected visit from new life coach — in the form of her ghostly ancestor, the legendary Indigenous marathon runner Tom Longboat (Asivak Koostachin).
Run Woman Run, directed and written by Zoe Leigh Hopkins, earned Best Film and Best Actress at the American Indian Film Festival and took home the Audience Choice and Moon Jury (Best Film) awards at the ImagineNATIVE festival.
Tickets are $9 general admission, or $8 students and seniors, available at the door (cash only) or online.
Massey Theatre is at 735 Eighth Ave.
