Kinema Screening: Wilmington on Fire
2025-02-20 19:00 - 21:30 (America/Halifax)
Mama Bears takes us inside the world of conservative, Christian mothers who find themselves at a crossroads when their children come out as LGBTQ+. Faced with an impossible choice between their church and their kids, these women choose love—and in doing so, transform into some of the fiercest advocates for equality. Their stories are raw, tender, and deeply human. They remind us that change often begins at home, and that the courage to embrace your child fully can ripple out to change entire communities. On Wednesday, November 20 at 7:00 PM (EST), join us for this unforgettable virtual screening and stay afterward for a conversation with director and producer Daresha Kyi, who will share what it took to bring these stories to the screen.
