Centerpiece Presentation: Margarita With A Straw

Director Shonali Bose’s deeply personal film dazzles with moments of careful reflection and emotional struggle as she tells the compelling and inspiring story of Laila, a young woman with cerebral palsy who dreams of becoming a writer. A NYU transplant from India’s Delhi University, Laila’s journey begins when she falls for a fiery female activist who tests her creative and personal boundaries.

Preceding the screening, CAAM will host a Centerpiece reception where guests will have the chance to rub elbows with director Shonali Bose and enjoy handcrafted Remy cocktails at the historic Castro Theatre.
