As part of Italian Heritage Month in Vancouver and in celebration of Italian Day on the Drive (Sunday, June 10), the Rio Theatre is programming screenings of select Italian titles in June, including director Michael Radford‘s (IL POSTINO) engaging dramatization of the life of one of the most beloved singers of our age, Andrea Bocelli.

Born with a serious eye condition that eventually leads to his blindness, Bocelli nevertheless rises above the challenges, driven by great ambitions towards his passion. The silent pursuit of his daily mission continues. Starring Antonio Banderas, Toby Sebastian (GAME OF THRONES).
