About the film
On Remembrance Day, at precisely 11 a.m., weather permitting, sunlight shines through a single window in Memorial Hall at the Canadian War Museum to frame the headstone representing Canada’s Unknown Soldier. This dramatic moment happens only once a year at the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month.
This moving event will also be livestreamed at the Canadian Museum of History on the giant screen of the CINÉ+ theatre.
