For National Canadian Film Day on April 17, the Telus World Of Science Edmonton will present a free screening of the important film, Bones of Crows, written and directed by Marie Clements. Before the film, an Elder will speak about their experiences with residential schools.
A powerful and moving exploration of the horrors and lasting impact of the residential school system, Bones of Crows follows Aline Spears (Dove), a Cree musical prodigy forcibly removed from her family as a young girl. Following her traumatic experiences, Aline serves her country as a Cree Code Talker in World War II, and thereafter tries to carve out a life for herself. Still, the memories of what happened to her and her siblings never leaves her. Finding that her story is one shared by hundreds of thousands of displaced Indigenous people, she sets herself on a pursuit of justice for herself and future generations.
Sean Burke spoke with Natasha Donahue (Manager, Indigenous Initiatives) at the TELUS World of Science, to learn more.
