Event Details

Join us for a community screening of a powerful film on mending the wounds of forced assimilation, with Indigenous elders, healers, and activists from the Esk’etemc, Gitxsan, and Wet’suwet’en territories. The effects of intergenerational trauma echo through the voices of residential school survivors and their children as they heal from substance abuse, violence, and disconnect from their culture.

The film features Patricia June Vickers, Roy Henry Vickers, Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chief Na’Moks, Kolin Sutherland-Wilson, among many others.

50% of proceeds after film production costs directly fund Indigenous-led initiatives in the featured communities. In the case of this film, the funds will be going to Dinï Ze’ Na’Moks & Yintah Access camp.
