Our People Will Be Healed, Alanis Obomsawin’s 50th film, reveals how a Cree community in Manitoba has been enriched through the power of education. The Helen Betty Osborne Ininiw Education Resource Centre in Norway House, north of Winnipeg, receives a level of funding that few other Indigenous institutions enjoy. Its teachers help their students to develop their abilities and their sense of pride.
In recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Thursday, September 30 and in remembrance of the survivors of Canada’s residential schools, Cinematheque is hosting two documentaries that address the traumatic brutality of residential schools and offer a path forward towards reconciliation. Both films will be free to view in Canada for three days, September 30 – October 3 on our Cinematheque at Home virtual platform. Donations will be accepted and 100% will go directly to the Sacred Fire – Bring Our Children Home Migiziiwazison.
