It’s the end of August, and that means the 2016 season of Harbourfront Free Flicks is coming to an end — but we’re going out with a bang, because this year’s Audience Choice pick is Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire.

It’s a crowd-pleaser par excellence — which is kind of fascinating, given how much horrible shit its characters endure in order to earn their happy ending — and it will be my pleasure to introduce it tonight at the lake.

Come down for 8:30 pm, because it’s a longish movie and I’m going on a little earlier than usual. But it’s worth the early start, trust me.
