Canada’s selection for the Oscars in the category of Best International Feature Film will be screening in theatres across the country this week.

“Eternal Spring,” an animated documentary based on the true story of a group of brave Chinese citizens who tapped into a Beijing-controlled television station to screen uncensored news, will be contending this year with films from at least 44 other countries in the International Feature Film category.
