🍿 Movie Night: My Internship in Canada (2015) 🍿 — Prep for Feb 11 Discussion

🍿 Movie Night: My Internship in Canada (2015)🍿

Come watch My Internship in Canada with us on Zoom on Sunday, February 8 (7–9 pm NY time / ET), as a relaxed prep session so you’re ready for the full conversation on February 11 during the 'C’est La Vie' event (1-2 pm NY time / ET).

My Internship in Canada is a gentle political comedy film about cultural adaptation, identity, and the everyday challenges of living and working abroad. An idealistic young Haitian travels to rural Quebec to intern for an independent Member of Parliament when a national debate erupts. The independent politician is thrust into the parliamentary spotlight and has to rely on his Haitian intern to help him navigate the complexities of Parliament Hill. Ideal for international audiences, students, and anyone who has experienced migration, study, or professional transition.

Release date: 2015 (Canada)
Director: Philippe Falardeau
Languages: English, French, Haitian Creole
Running time: 1h 48m

Everyone is welcome: French learners, educators, film lovers, curious newcomers, and friendly strangers.
