Return to the Falls: Film screening and conversation

Apr 16

  • Admission: Free, registration required

Join us for this special screening of Return to the Falls, a feature‐length docudrama that tells the life story of Elder Betty Ross.

As a girl from Pimicikamak Cree Nation (also known as Cross Lake First Nation), she held the sacred teachings of her father like a torch to survive the Indian residential school system. In this film, you will experience Betty’s journey. Cinematic reenactments bring to life unimaginable hardships and euphoric moments of freedom, interwoven with present day footage of Betty as she returns to the falls of her childhood for the first time in more than 70 years.

Following the film, Elder Betty will engage in a Q&A with the audience.
