How can film empower a community and effect change? Join us for a screening of groundbreaking footage from First Nations leader and filmmaking pioneer Barb Cranmer ('Namgis), followed by a conversation about her profound impact on Indigenous storytelling, and the power of film as an act of resistance. Celebrate Cranmer’s work and explore her legacy, juxtaposed with contemporary Indigenous filmmakers who continue to use film as a medium for activism.
