One day left until the Calgary screening of Know Your Place! Here’s some info about the film:

15-year-old Robel embarks on an errand to deliver a huge, heavy suitcase across Seattle, destined for a sick family member in his parents’ homeland of Eritrea.

What begins as a simple errand turns into a race to complete his task, and leaves Robel facing questions of identity, responsibility, and belonging, in a community on the brink of change.

🎥 Know Your Place
📆 Thurs. Sept. 4th at 7pm
📍Globe Cinema (617 8th Ave. S.W. Calgary, AB)

follows a young Eritrean-American boy, Robel Haile and his best friend Fahmi Tadesse as they set out to drop off a suitcase with medicine and cash to a friend traveling back to Eritrea because of a family member’s sudden illness. An unexpected turn causes Robel’s simple errand into an odyssey across the rapidly gentrifying Seattle, as he navigates directions to make his delivery on time all while he balances the challenges of familial responsibility, self-identification, and dislocation amid the displacement of the only community he’s ever known as home.
