Free screening of "The Pass System" (Directed by Alex Williams) on March 14th (7:00 p.m.) in PE250.
From the Northwest Resistance of 1885 and for over 60 years, the Canadian Government denied many Indigenous peoples of the prairies the basic freedom to leave their reserves, all the while knowing there was no basis in law for the policy. This investigative documentary features Cree, Saulteaux, Dene, Ojibwe and Blackfoot Elders and their stories of living under and resisting the system, revealing a little-known picture of life under segregation in Canada.
This screening is made possible by contributions from The Institute for Child and Youth Studies (I-CYS); Faculties of Arts & Science, Education, Fine Arts, and Health Sciences; Canada Research Chairs program; Office of the President; Office of the Provost and Vice-President (Academic); Enrolment Services
Everyone is welcome
