The highly anticipated documentary by Cree-Métis filmmaker Barbara Todd Hager, captures the extraordinary life of award-winning playwright Tomson Highway, exploring his Cree-influenced view of life, his love of laughter, his family origins, and how his plays launched the Indigenous theatre movement in Canada. The screening will be followed by an in-person Q&A with Barbara Todd Hager and Tomson Highway, moderated by Antonio Michael Downing, host of CBC Radio’s The Next Chapter.
The audio of the post-screening conversation will be recorded for broadcast on CBC Radio’s The Next Chapter.
