Description
Join us in celebrating literacy with a screening of Matilda (1996) starring Mara Wilson, Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman.
This film adaptation of Roald Dahl's book (1988) tells the story of Matilda Wormwood (Wilson), a gifted reader forced to put up with a crude, distant father (DeVito) and mother (Perlman). Worse, Agatha Trunchbull (Pam Ferris), the evil principal at Matilda's school, is a terrifyingly strict bully. However, when Matilda realizes she has the power of telekinesis, she begins to defend her friends from Trunchbull's wrath and fight back against her unkind parents.
Parkdale Project Read (PPR) is a non-profit, community-based literacy program that operates an adult learning centre in the Parkdale community. Learn more: parkdaleprojectread.org
