DHEEPAN
FRIDAY, March 18, 8:45 PM
Chilmark School
Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, Dheepan follows a Sri Lankan man who flees civil war, taking two strangers, a woman and an orphaned girl, with him. Despite language and cultural barriers they find work and the girl enrolls in school, but past violence and present threats reopen war wounds for all three.
