FOR MATURE AUDIENCES: CONTAINS SOME SCENES OF VIOLENCE

In August 2016, a farmer in rural Saskatchewan shot Colten Boushie, a 22-year-old Cree man. The acquittal of his killer captured international attention, raising questions about racism embedded in Canada’s legal system. Colten’s family was propelled onto national and international stages in their pursuit of justice. The film weaves a profound narrative encompassing the filmmaker’s own adoption, the stark history of colonialism, and a vision of a future where Indigenous children can live safely on their homelands.

Conversation to follow with Tasha Hubbard and Jade Tootoosis (Red Pheasant Cree Nation), moderated by Jason Ryle (Saulteaux).
