The Ties That Bind National Tour

In The Ties That Bind, award-winning documentary film-maker John Ritchie takes a first-hand look at the Jordan family's struggle to let go, when every instinct compels them to hang on. Ritchie follows the Jordan family – Kathleen, Bill, Chris and his two siblings – for almost three years. The result is an extraordinarily intimate film that reveals, with raw emotion and surprising humour, the complexity around one young man's transition toward a more independent life.
