The Unstoppable Jenny Garcia Screening

Join us for an unforgettable event celebrating the launch of The Unstoppable Jenny Garcia! which tells the story of 13-year-old Jenny, a talented and driven Filipino-Canadian dancer from Scarborough who is on a mission to lead her dance troupe to fame - until a cancer diagnosis threatens to rob her of her dreams.

Hosted by Centre Kapwa, we’re coming together to honor strength, community, and the power of storytelling. This EXCLUSIVE screening will be followed by a powerful community talkback with Fly Lady Di and France Stohner, diving deep into mental health, youth, and the arts. Written by the talented Catherine Hernandez @legshernandez , with music from many wonderful artists, including Kimmortal @kimmortaltheartist and Alex Punzalan @l3xjunior , this is an event you won’t want to miss!
