Commercial Drive Productions and Vancouver’s Reel Causes are pleased to announce the national digital premiere of Bella Ciao! for a limited three week run beginning June 25th. 

Reel Causes, a non-profit that partners with filmmakers and Canadian causes dedicated to addressing global social justice issues, is partnering with the Bella Ciao! team on the release, with a portion of ticket sale revenue going to two charitable causes in line with the values of the film: Vancouver-based Watari and Toronto-based Casa Salvador Allende.

Carolyn Combs’ ensemble drama is a searching film about home and displacement, isolation and solidarity. Set over the arc of one day. The film stars Carmen Aguirre as Constanza, a refugee who fled the coup against Salvador Allende in Chile, and now calls East Vancouver home. Bella Ciao! weaves the stories of her friends and neighbours – activists, artists, hustlers and coffee house consiglieri – to capture how traditions of solidarity renew across cultures and generations. Viva East Van!
