In partnership with Carrefour d’action interculturelle (CAI), we invite you to a special screening of Le Labyrinthe | The Maze, a compelling documentary by Clarissa Rebouças that offers a rare glimpse into the lives of immigrants as they navigate the complexities of starting over in Quebec City.
This film follows the stories of eight immigrants, many of whom hold precarious or undocumented status. Through their personal journeys, they reveal the intricate challenges and small triumphs they encounter as they work to rebuild their lives in a foreign land. From cultural barriers to navigating bureaucracy, each story sheds light on the resilience, determination, and hope that keeps them going.
Le Labyrinthe | The Maze is more than a film; it’s a window into the often unseen struggles and courage that define the immigrant experience. Join us for this powerful screening, followed by a Q&A session where we’ll discuss the themes of the film and explore ways to support immigrant communities in Quebec City.
