National Canadian Film Day-Bones of Crow
April 17 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Stop by the Museum and support the National Canadian Film Day. We will be featuring a free movie Bones of Crows. This will take place Wednesday, April 17, 2024 11:00am. This will take place in the Jeanne Gordon Hall.
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, but the memories of what happened to her and her siblings never leaves her. Finding that her story is one shared by hundreds of thousands displaced Indigenous people, she sets herself on a pursuit of justice for herself and future generations.
This courageous generation-spanning epic premiered at TIFF to rave reviews, and received five nominations at the Canadian Screen Awards including Best Original Screenplay.
“[It] should be required viewing for all Canadians.” – Kim Hughes, Original Cin
