Scenes from the film
It examines the Aboriginal residential schools through the eyes of six fictional former students who meet at a train station to head to a reunion. They flash back to the troubling times they experienced at the residential school and aim to answer the question of whether or not… time heals all wounds.
Cheechoo wrote the movie based on her own experience growing up in residential schools. Admission is free and no advance tickets are required.
The event is sponsored by the Aboriginal Education Council, Aboriginal Student Services, Tecumseh Centre and Brock University’s Office of the President.
