Coronation Girls

In May 1953, 50 girls from rural communities across Canada set sail on the Empress of France on a voyage to witness the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The experience transforms them instantly and forever. Seventy years later and fueled by friendship, they relive the odyssey and go back for a surprise meeting with her son King Charles III.
