Featuring Bones of Crows
Join us for this special afternoon film presentation to mark National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.
Bring a friend or come by yourself to watch a compelling, emotional and insightful movie to mark National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. Its authentic representation of Indigenous experiences, combined with its educational and emotional impact, aligns well with the day’s objectives of promoting understanding, respect, and reconciliation.
Bones of Crows is told through the eyes of Cree Matriarch Aline Spears, who after surviving a childhood in Canada's residential school system, uses her uncanny ability to understand and translate codes into working for a special division of the Canadian Air Force as a Cree code talker in World War II. The story unfolds over 100 years with a cumulative force that propels us into the future. An award winning film about survival and the pursuit of justice.
Starring Grace Dove, Phillip Lewitski, Rémy Girard, Karine Vanasse, Alyssa Wapanatâhk, Michelle Thrush, Glen Gould, Gail Maurice, Carla-Rae, Cara Gee, Jonathan Whitesell, Patrick Garrow. Directed by Marie Clements.
