MAT Film Nights continues its 30th season on Wednesday, Oct. 7 with the very timely film, Nika & Madison.

Propelled by powerful acting, Nika & Madison highlights the issue of systemic racism in a film that has been described as a "Canadian take on Thelma & Louise". Like that film, Nika & Madison is ultimately about understanding and love. Audiences won’t want to miss Nika & Madison, which has achieved the very rare rating of 100 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.
