Dates to come
The Cree community of Norway House, some 450 km north of Winnipeg, is one of Manitoba’s biggest indigenous communities. It is home to the Helen Betty Osborne School, a unique and inspiring institution with 1300 students, where teachers do more than convey knowledge, they help students understand their heritage and culture. In her fiftieth film, the great Alanis Obomsawin revisits the tragic history of a people subjected to oppression and attempts to extinguish their traditions, but also turns her camera toward hope by underscoring the power of education.
