SUMMARY:Film Screening: Honour to Murray Sinclair & Second Stories: It Had to be Done
DESCRIPTION:Honour to Murray Sinclair\n2021, 29min\nAs the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Senator Murray Sinclair was a key figure in raising global awareness of the atrocities of Canada’s residential school system. With determination, wisdom and kindness, Senator Sinclair remains steadfast in his belief that the path to actual reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people requires understanding and accepting often difficult truths about Canada’s past and present. Alanis Obomsawin shares the powerful speech the Senator gave when he accepted the WFM-Canada World Peace Award, interspersing the heartbreaking testimonies of former students imprisoned at residential schools. The honouring of Senator Sinclair reminds us to honour the lives and legacies of the tens of thousands of Indigenous children taken from their homes and cultures, and leaves us with a profound feeling of hope for a better future\nSecond Stories: It Had to be Done\n2008, 22min\nThis short documentary explores the legacy of residential schools through the eyes of two extraordinary women who not only lived it, but who, as adults, made the surprising decision to return to the school that had affected their lives so profoundly. This intimate and moving film affirms their strength and dignity in standing up and making a difference on their own terms.\nTo register for these film screenings, visit https://yorku.ca/go/ND4TRfilmscreenings ( https://yorku.ca/go/ND4TRfilmscreenings ).\n
