This heart-warming comedy by Trish Cooper about a South Sudanese “Lost Boy” adopted by the well-intentioned Wilson family of Winnipeg, yields hilarious results when it takes on Canadian values and cultural differences. With characters so full of contradictions we are reminded of ourselves, Social Studies highlights family connections and the desire to do good in the world.
“Trish Cooper’s Social Studies shows the compassionate, caring side of Canadians while questioning our fears and feelings about people whose lives have been so different than ours,” says Spencer. “It is funny, it is moving, and it makes me proud to be reminded of how giving Canadians can be.”
