752 Is Not a Number

752 Is Not A Number – Screening on Saturday January 7 at 11:30am!

The downing of the Ukrainian passenger flight 752 over the skies of Tehran on January 8, 2020, shook the world. All 176 passengers were killed, among them women, children, university students and academics, many of them residents or citizens of Canada.

752 Is Not A Number tells the tale of Dr. Hamed Esmaeilion, a dentist in Toronto who was leading an ordinary quiet life with his wife and nine-year-old daughter, until they boarded flight PS752. This ordinary man was thrust into extraordinary circumstances as his fight for justice became a worldwide story.

*This event is a rental, and tickets are cash only if purchased from the box office on January 7. Normal Mayfair prices and memberships do not apply.

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!

On January 8, 2020, Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 went down as it was leaving Iranian air space. All 176 people on board were killed, many of them Iranian Canadians. For weeks Iranian authorities vociferously denied responsibility, but foreign governments and agencies were certain the plane was shot down by Iranian military, a fact Iran’s government eventually admitted. There were no answers as to why the plane was fired on or even why it was allowed to take off, since hostilities had broken out in the region in preceding days.
