Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, Dheepan is a gripping, human tale of survival and a powerful depiction of the immigrant experience.  On the losing side of a civil war in Sri Lanka, a soldier poses as the husband and father of two other refugees in order to escape their ravaged homeland. Arriving in France, the makeshift "family" sets about establishing a new life - only to find themselves once again embroiled in violence on the mean streets of Paris. Dheepan is both a tour-de-force thriller and a heartrending saga of three strangers united by circumstance and struggle.

"For a while, it's quietly meditative and riveting - worthy of the Palme d'Or it captured last spring in Cannes." ~ Globe and Mail
