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.
