Doors Open at 5:30

The Bloor Hot Docs Cinema
Price of tickets $15.00 plus applicable costs and taxes
Ordinary Woman, Extraordinary Dreams tells the inspiring story of Maggie Sofea, a 23-year-old who has spent the last twelve years in a wheelchair precipitated by a swimming accident near her remote community of Summer Beaver in Northwestern Ontario. Unable to live on the reserve after her accident, Maggie has adapted to a life living in an urban, predominately non-native community. The documentary follows Maggie's dramatic and challenging journey back to the scene of her accident, and her quest to reconnect with her family, community, traditions and culture. Maggie's story outlines the challenges faced by individuals and their families living with physical disabilities in isolated First Nations communities. But above all, it is a story of courage and determination.
