Migrante Ottawa

General admission

Join us on Monday, May 26 from 6-9pm EST for a community screening of the documentary “INAY” by director Thea Loo. The Ottawa screening is co-hosted by Migrante Ottawa, a Filipino mass organization focused on advocating for the rights and welfare of migrant workers, and the Ottawa Filipino Community Church. The donations will be split evenly between the Church for a fundraising initiative and Migrante Ottawa. With the desire to help answer unresolved questions and heal lingering wounds, INAY investigates the flawed immigration pathways between the Philippines and Canada that kept so many Filipino children from their mothers. Inay, which means "mama" in Tagalog, is an intimate and personal look at the experiences and trauma endured by many Filipino Canadians. Filmmaker Thea Loo and her husband Jeremiah Reyes, who is also the film's Director of Photography, explore the intersections of mental health and migrant labor and the effects that continue to be felt years later. Through intimate conversations, this self-reflexive documentary aims to bridge the silences and disconnect between the first and second generations of the Filipino community.
