FIRST PEOPLES, FIRST SCREENS 2: E’pit – Faam – Ikwe – Femme – Woman
The screening will be followed by a short discussion moderated by Kelsey Roote of OPIRG Peterborough.
Join us for a powerful film screening led by WARRIOR WOMEN followed by four amazing short films about & by Indigenous women in so-called Canada. Despite the genocide Indigenous peoples continue to face, these women are leading social movements that we all need to know and support.
The screening will be followed by a short discussion moderated by Kelsey Roote of OPIRG Peterborough.
This is a co-screening between OPIRG Peterborough and Cinema Politica as part of their special program, First Peoples First Screens, that showcases Indigenous socially-engaged filmmaking from across Turtle Island, with a focus on this country colonially known as Canada.
The First Peoples First Screens Ontario Tour is generously supported by the Ontario Arts Council.
