Over 130 years, more than 100,000 First Nations children were sent to residential schools, often separated them from their families and culture and subjected to brutal abuse. This film tells the story of two survivors: Glen Anaquod and Lyna Hart.
In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, this series will provide information on the history and culture of Indigenous people and the residential school legacy. Discussions and debriefings moderated by Danielle Goulden of Reconciliation Regina. Optional smudging teachings in the Central Children’s meeting room before and after each film.

The RPL Film Theatre screens the best of world cinema – up to 15 films a month. The Film Theatre has “something for everyone” and is the only cinema in the city to consistently present critically-acclaimed contemporary and alternative cinema: Canadian, foreign and independent films and documentaries.
For more than 50 years, Regina Public Library (RPL) has played a pivotal role in the cultural life of the city of Regina and surrounding areas. In the mid-60s, interest in a permanent venue for film enthusiasts grew into a program at the Library – a co-operative effort between the local Film Council and the National Film Board of Canada. A landmark year for the cultural, multi-cultural and surrounding business communities was 1975, the year the RPL Film Theatre was officially launched.
