The Rio Theatre will host a special screening of A Long Journey Home: The Rainer Story.
The film by Colin Askey will be shown February 18 at 5 pm. After the movie, a special discussion panel will take place.
A former drug and alcohol counselor, and director of the highly popular debut Roger’s Pass, A Long Journey Home deals with the Rainer Hotel in the downtown eastside. The hotel functions as a women’s only addiction treatment centre but the funding for the pilot program ended in November, sending the project into financial uncertainty.
Admission is free.
