Hard Light screening at Williams
Lake Branch |
This
feature film uses Michael Crummey’s seminal piece of
Newfoundland literature to examine cultural change and modern
relationships. As in Crummey’s collection of poems and stories,
there is a decisive theme of the artist investigating his
ancestors to discover himself. Filmmaker Justin Simms offers
viewers a timely reflection on compassion, storytelling and
identity.

| Tightly Knit Secrets
Unravelled: An afternoon with Gail Pilgrim at the Williams Lake
Branch |
|
Victim-advocate and addictions counsellor Gail Pilgrim will be
here today sharing her very personal book, "Tightly Knit Secrets
Unravelled: My Knitting Story". When Gail found out her husband,
a pastor and pillar of their church community, was a paedophile
who had abused their own daughters, it turned her life upside
down and unravelled the structure of her world. The book tells
the tale of her life, the good and bad, and gives hope for
survivors of trauma and abuse.
Everyone involved or concerned with young children is encouraged
to come. Gail will
discuss the wide spread damage that is caused when sexual abuse
occurs, and will explain how unexplained behaviours and
illnesses can indicate that a child is trapped by being a victim
and threatened to keep the secret.
