The Chatham branch of the Chatham-Kent Public Library will host a special screening of the film “Youngblood” on April 17 in celebration of National Canadian Film Day.
The event will feature a reimagining of the classic hockey story, directed by Hubert Davis, following the journey of Dean Youngblood, a promising player whose future is derailed after a violent on-ice incident. Given a second chance with a new team, the character must confront his behaviour, rebuild his reputation and work toward a championship.
Library officials say the film blends drama, sports action and themes of redemption.
The screening is free to attend and open to the public, with no registration required.
For more information, residents can contact the Chatham branch at 519-354-2940 or by email at cklibrary@chatham-kent.ca.
