Trailer, details and tickets.
☀ Instead of the downers nominated in the past, this year's slate (while at times sobering) emphasize hope and compassion. They are all compelling - making it a challenge to pick the Oscar winner.
☀ Diverse themes range from a father-daughter relationship captured over 16 years, to a caring couple rescuing orphaned elephants, to the surprising outcome of a would-be terrorist's change of heart, to the fate of walruses in the Arctic, to an unlikely political whistleblower.
☀ Drinks/Dinner: Meet at Butcher & Barrel circa 5:30 pm, before the screening - CWC ticket holders receive a 15% discount on their food order.
