Patrice: the Movie
Friday, Jan. 17, 7:30 p.m.
Patrice has finally found the love of her life, Garry, who is also disabled. They want nothing more than to get married, but if they do—or even if they just move in together—the government benefits they need to survive would be cut. Despite the scrutiny they’re under, they decide to plan a commitment ceremony that could risk their entire future.
Patrice’s present-day battles are informed by her past. With long-time friend, director Ted Passon, Patrice recreates scenes from her life imbued with her art and her uniquely tragicomic joie de vivre. Starring a cast of children, with Patrice playing herself at every age, we see the struggles Patrice endured to get the house, the job, and the life that she’s now fighting to hold on to.
