Gibsons Public Library: Documentary Screening: Ninan Auassat: We, the Children

Registration required

Known for her intimate and riveting films, director Kim O’Bomsawin now invites us to experience the vibrant universe of Ninan Auassat: We, the Children—an immersive documentary celebrating the power and vitality of Indigenous youth.

Shot over more than six years, the film brings us the moving stories of three groups of children from three different Indigenous nations: Atikamekw, Eeyou Cree and Innu.

In hearing their heartfelt, raw stories and the ways they understand their history and experiences, we are plunged into the world of their dreams, learning about the issues that concern them and their hopes for the future. We follow these young people through the crucial milestones of childhood, right to the threshold of adulthood, witnessing their daily lives and aspirations, along with the challenges they face.
