“Stand!” the 2019 movie written by Ethelbert’s Danny Schur, is getting a special free screening online.
Tonight at 6 p.m. the film will be available in the US and Manitoba.
Adapted from Schur's stage play called “Strike!”, the movie features a Ukrainian Catholic boy, who falls in love with his neighbour, a Ukrainian Jewish girl, as they deal with the racism and discrimination of the early 20th Century. The Romeo and Juliet tale also navigates the events that led to the historic 1919 Winnipeg General Strike.
The movie has been made available due to a special arrangement with the Washington, DC Labor Film Fest. But, because of all the dedication and support Manitobans have shown the production of the movie, this free screening is being offered as a token of appreciation and gratitude.
To watch the movie, RSVP here, a bonus Q&A with Danny, who also composed and produced the movie, director Rob Adetuyi, and Hollywood actor Gregg Henry will also be available.
