Hi-Ho-Mistahey! by by Alanis Obomsawin
Location: Access through NFB Campus
Publication Date: 2013
In this feature-length documentary, Alanis Obomsawin tells the story of Shannen’s Dream, a national campaign to provide equitable access to education in safe and suitable schools for First Nations children. Strong participation in this initiative eventually brings Shannen's Dream all the way to the United Nations in Geneva.
Next of Kin
Location: Access through Curio
Publication Date: 2018
Nearly 50,000 Canadian children are in foster and group homes. Most will stop receiving support at age 19. Compared to their peers, youth aging out of care do not fare well. Too often they drop out of school, suffer PTSD and substance abuse, end up on welfare, in jail or homeless. In St. Catharines, Ontario an innovative non-profit believes connecting youth aging out with biological family could make all the difference. Next of Kin is a detective story in which the goal isn’t to catch a killer but save a life. The persons of interest: long lost or unknown family members.
