[homeles_ot-l] Screening of Blue Roses - Mayfair Theatre on Wednesday, June 19th at 6pm

[Danielle Rolfe]

Dear friends & community partners:

In partnership with Ottawa Inner City Health <https://www.ottawainnercityhealth.ca/>, Compassionate Ottawa <https://compassionateottawa.ca/> and One World Arts <http://oneworldarts.ca/>, we are pleased to announce a free encore screening of the documentary film, Blue Roses, winner of the Audience Choice Award at the 2018 One World Film Festival.

Blue Roses will play at the Mayfair Theatre on Wednesday June 19th at 6pm. Please register online - https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/blue-roses-documentary-film-screening-discussion-tickets-60475678382 <https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/blue-roses-documentary-film-screening-discussion-tickets-60475678382> - and share with your networks!

Blue Roses  <http://www.bluerosesdocumentary.ca/>is an inspiring documentary film about Bob Jamison and other frontline community health workers who provide care for Ottawa's inner-city rooming house residents, who often face poverty, addiction and mental illness. In the process, they challenge our conventional understanding of palliative (end of life) care.

The film provides a fascinating and poignant look at life in rooming houses and the difficulties in providing palliative care to this invisible community. It captures the compelling, and often heart breaking, challenges that Bob and others with lived experience face in bringing kindness and a voice to their community.

Attend this free screening, followed by an informative discussion involving people with lived experience, frontline health workers and Ottawa City Councillor Catherine McKenney about rooming houses and palliative care for people experiencing poverty, mental illness and addictions.

Donations at the door are very welcome and will be used to support frontline community health workers.



We hope to see you there!
