That the world premiere screening of this unique, community-led project is happening at “the other end of the pipe” is rich terrain for considering our collective relationship to water, and to each other. A post-screening panel with band members Daryl Redsky, Roxanne Greene, director Angelina McLeod and Winnipeg-based historian Adele Perry, will highlight the complex, ongoing work of Shoal Lake 40 in resolving a brutal colonial legacy – one that is inseparable from the history of this place.
