Freeport,
Grand Bahama Island - The third installment of
FLIFF on Location: Grand Bahama Island 2013 will play its closing film, THE ROCKET on Sunday, November 3rd at
11:30AM
at the Pelican Bay Hotel's Canal House Delphine room.
THE ROCKET has been winning awards around the globe at film festivals.
It is from the country, Laos and is about a boy (Ahlo, 10), who is believed to bring bad
luck,
is blamed for a string of disasters. When his family loses their home
and are forced to move, Ahlo meets the spirited orphan Kia (9) and her
eccentric uncle Purple: an ex-soldier with a purple suit, a rice-wine
habit and a fetish for James Brown. Struggling to hang on to his
father's trust, Ahlo leads his family, Purple and Kia through a land
scarred by war in search of a new home. But bad luck seems to follow
Ahlo, and in a last plea to prove he's not cursed, Ahlo desperately
feels the need to prove himself to his family, village and himself.
