NCCAR invites you to “Factory Girl” at Montreal’s World Film Festival

NCCAR invites you to watch “Factory Girl” at the World Film Festival in Montreal on Monday, September 1st at 3:00pm.The film will be followed by a discussion and dinner/drinks at the restaurant, Menthe et Cousous at 361 Émery St, Montreal.

SYNOPSIS: Factory Girl tells the story of Hiyam, a young factory worker, lives in a lower-middle-class neighborhood, along with her co-workers. She is clearly under the spell of Salah, the factory’s new supervisor, who has expressed his admiration for her. She believes love can transcend the class differences between them.

However, when a pregnancy test is discovered in the factory premises, her immediate family and close friends accuse her of sinning. Hiyam decides not to defend herself and pays an enormous price in a society that fails to accept independent women. Factory Girl examines the changes that take place in her life over the four seasons of the year. From falling in love to facing heartbreak, her life comes around full circle by the end of the year.

You can watch the trailer here.
