Description
As part of the City of Toronto’s DriveInTO program, Reelworld Film Festival is proud to present a night of FREE programming at CityView Drive-In.
ACROSS THE LINE
Director X’s first feature film, Across the Line, stars Stephan James (If Beale Street Could Talk) as Mattie Slaughter and Sarah Jeffery (Shades of Blue, Charmed) as Jayme.
Mattie is a black teenager poised for hockey greatness. About to be considered for the NHL, he is under extra pressure from his agent to keep his reputation clean. But when race riots erupt at his school and his brother’s criminal life inches closer to home, Mattie’s reputation – and hockey dreams – are at risk. Inspired by the 1989 Cole Harbour District High School race riots, Across the Line explores racial tensions in North Preston, Nova Scotia. Equal parts beautiful and unsettling, the film sheds critical light on racism in Canada and the struggle to find one’s identity in a society eager to define.
**Though this is a FREE event, tickets are required for entry and must be reserved in advance**
