‘Delaware Shore’ movie to open in Wilmington Jan. 25

Avocado Media announces its award-winning film "Delaware Shore," directed by Raghav Peri, will premiere in Delaware Friday, Jan. 25 at Penn Cinema Riverfront, Wilmington. "Delaware Shore" was written, produced and directed by Raghav Peri, based on the novel by Michaelangelo Rodriguez.

Agnes, a Holocaust survivor living in Slaughter Beach, is tasked with raising her grandchildren after they are abandoned on her doorstep. As they grow up, she finds she is not able to control them. Her grandson Gallagher finds himself in a gay romance with a sincere suitor. Granddaughter Tasha is attracted to a young hoodlum. Agnes, permanently traumatized by her wartime experiences, is emotionally abusive to Gallagher and Tasha. Will they be able to forgive her before it’s too late? The story digs deep to uncover truths about how individuals’ pain affects the people they care about most.

"’Delaware Shore’ got a big thumbs-up from general audiences when it was released in New York and L.A. in December. It was in the First State where we shot the film, and we are so happy and thrilled to bring it back to where it all began. It’s an important and thought-provoking film. I can't wait for everyone to see this film in Delaware,” said Peri.

The movie will run through Thursday, Jan. 31. For show times, call 302-656-4314 or go to www.penncinema.com.
