Documentary: The Mirror

Ever wonder what happens when a group of community-conscious people try to revive a nearly abandoned village high up in the Italian Alps? Apparently, they decide to build a mirror to make the center of town a nice, warm place in the depths of winter.

The Mirror is a story of how a new community centerpiece can bring light, literally and figuratively, to an otherwise sleepy town. Interviews with everyone from the parish priest to the semi-hermit living high on the hillside track the progress of the project. And as with any successful initiative, much rejoicing and curious festivities ensue at its unveiling.

Directed by Calgary's very own David Christensen, this film is a fantastic glimpse into a small town with big ideas that just get done. Watch it tonight at 9!
