A critically acclaimed Indigenous film will be one of the key screenings at a film festival in Kelowna beginning Thursday.
The World Community Film Festival coming to Kelowna March 1 to 4 will include a screening of award-winning Indigenous filmmaker Alanis Obomsawinsa国际传媒檚 film Our People Will Be Healed on Saturday March 3 at 4 p.m at Okanagan College.
Obomsawinsa国际传媒檚 50th film reveals how a Cree community in Manitoba has been enriched through the power of education. The Helen Betty Osborne Ininiw Education Resource Centre in Norway House, north of Winnipeg, receives a level of funding that few other Indigenous institutions enjoy.
Its teachers help their students to develop their abilities and their sense of pride in their culture. This positive story illustrates what is possible with proper funding and support, according to the festival.
