For over 30 years, ItalfestMTL has honored the beauty and riches of Italy in its beloved metropolis. Italians and non-Italians alike will gather for the festivities from August 2-11 to live the Dolce Vita. As Canada’s largest curator of Italian films and producer of Original Canadian multicultural content with a catalogue of hundreds of hours, TLN will also feature two Original documentaries as part of this year’s festival:


Le Ciocare (Land of Thorns)

Casa D'Italia | Aug 5 at 7:30P

Centre Leonardo Da Vinci | Aug 9 at 7:30P



Directed by Montreal naitive Anthony Sarracco, "Le Ciociare" delves deep into a shadowed chapter of World War II, illuminating the harrowing experiences of Italian women who endured brutal violations at the hands of the Goumiers soldiers following the Battle of Cassino. Through intimate testimonies of the last surviving victims, archival footage, and expert analysis, this powerful documentary seeks to give voice to the silent sufferers of history, revealing the heartbreaking paradox of liberation that came at an unthinkable personal cost. The story underscores the complex tapestry of war, where liberators can also be oppressors, and heroes may hide dark secrets.

1994

Centre Leonardo Da Vinci | Aug 7 at 6:30P

Casa D'Italia | Aug 8 at 7:30P  


A TLN Original, directed by Montreal native Anthony Sarracco, this harrowing drama takes place in the wake of Baggio's heart-wrenching 1994 World Cup miss where a man finds himself trapped in the grip of "Peter Pan syndrome," a relentless pursuit to dodge the trappings of adulthood. As the years go by, his obsession with eternal youth brings laughter and pain, challenging him to weigh the allure of everlasting childhood against the responsibilities and rewards of grown-up life. In this journey of self-discovery, he must confront the delicate balance between cherishing memories and embracing the present, all while questioning the actual cost of never wanting to grow up


Strides for Seniors – Sat Sept 28   | North Maple Regional Park


TLN Media Group is a proud media sponsor of the annual UniversalCare Strides for Seniors fundraiser in support of our seniors and promoting health and happiness at every stage of life.

TLN Media Group Launches its Annual Financial Elder Abuse Prevention Campaign

TLN Media Group Launches its Annual Financial Elder Abuse Prevention Campaign

National Multilingual Public Service Announcements to run across the networks’ TV channels and Digital Platforms

(Toronto, ON – May 30, 2024) June is seniors’ month in Ontario and now more than ever, members of our elderly community need support. TLN Media Group’s commitment to seniors is at the core of its community building and today the network announced the launch of its annual month-long multilingual Elder Abuse Prevention Public Service Announcement campaign running across all its platforms from June 1st – June 30th.

TLN Media Group has produced 30-second PSA messages in English, Spanish, and Italian languages, with the national campaign broadcasting on TLN Television, Univision Canada, and Mediaset Italia TV channels with corresponding online content on respective digital platforms.

This year’s focus is on raising awareness and assisting in the prevention of financial abuse toward senior citizens. Financial abuse is the most common form of elder abuse in Canada, where 1 in 5 seniors are victim’s to being taken advantage of in theft, and fraud, among others. Abusers can be family or friends who are close to the victim, or they may be professional criminals who target the elderly via phone or the internet. Whether misusing or stealing a senior's assets or forcing them to sign legal documents they do not understand, it is important to recognize that this abuse is not acceptable.

TLN Media Group is dedicated to the well-being of the elderly across Canada and our goal is to increase the awareness of financial abuse targeting seniors in an effort to prevent fraud and financial exploitation. Our goal is to ensure that we are looking after some of the most vulnerable members of our communities. Seniors need to be equipped with the information to protect themselves, allowing them to make informed decisions on whom to trust, and be aware of assistance programs available to them.

As a multicultural media leader in our Canadian ethnic communities for four decades, TLN Media Group understands it is especially important to address the most vulnerable communities on these important issues in their first language of choice.

Join TLN Media Group in helping to protect our seniors- if this is happening to you or someone close to you, ask for help from your bank or a family member.

Break the silence. Stop the Abuse.
