Welcome to the Ajax Film Circuit! Join us for our screening of Café Daughter at the St. Francis Centre for Community, Arts and Culture.

Based on the play of the same name, and inspired by true events, Café Daughter is a coming-of-age story about Yvette Wong, a young Chinese Cree girl in 1960s Saskatchewan, who explores and embraces her Cree identity after the passing of her mother. Her journey to reconnect is further bolstered by Maggie Wolf, a part Mi’kmaq girl, who encourages her to take pride in who she is and where her family comes from. When Yvette’s ancestry is revealed, the attitudes of her fellow students and teachers soon turn to discrimination against her and her dreams of going to medical school. In the face of all of this, Yvette chooses to persevere and succeed. Rooted in the experiences of Dr. Lillian Dyck, Order of Canada, the film’s cast compose a story of inspiration and champion what is possible in overcoming adversity and forging your own path. Concessions and cash bar available.
