Join us for a screening of Cold Journey (1975) at the Minden Hills Cultural Centre, now rescheduled to Thursday, May 15 at 1:00 p.m.
Directed by Martin Defalco, Cold Journey is a poignant drama about Indigenous youth in 1970s Canada. It follows 15-year-old Buckley Petawabano, a Cree boy at a residential school, torn between his family's traditions and imposed expectations. The story echoes the real-life tragedy of Chanie Wenjack, an Anishinaabe boy who died fleeing a residential school in 1966. His death sparked national attention and led to the first inquest into the treatment of Indigenous children in Canadian residential schools.
Admission is free, and all ages are welcome. No pre-registration is required. The documentary is provided courtesy of the National Film Board (NFB).
