MCSI presents: HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS
May 6
Do you believe in Bigfoot? Because I do. The Hendersons run into the infamous beast one camping trip and decide to take him home. I’m convinced that this film is what sparked my childhood obsession with cryptozoology (the study of hidden animals), so maybe this film will inspire your children too. Just think of it, a whole town full of little cryptozoologists running around, trying to solve mysteries.

WHITE RAVENS
May 30
This powerful documentary focuses on the islands of Haida Gwaii and the Haida Nation’s experiences with colonization and genocide. “White Ravens invites questions of restorative justice, and because it brings to light Indigenous histories for non-Indigenous folks, it has the potential to take down the kinds of walls that get built up in our mind,” said director Georg Koszulinski.
