National Canadian Film Day: Bones of Crows
Wednesday, April 17, 2024

For National Canadian Film Day on April 17, your Science Centre will present a free screening of the important film, Bones of Crows.
A powerful and moving exploration of the horrors and lasting impact of the residential school system, Bones of Crows follows Aline Spears (Dove), a Cree musical prodigy forcibly removed from her family as a young girl. Following her traumatic experiences, Aline serves her country as a Cree Code Talker in World War II, and thereafter tries to carve out a life for herself. Still, the memories of what happened to her and her siblings never leaves her. Finding that her story is one shared by hundreds of thousands of displaced Indigenous people, she sets herself on a pursuit of justice for herself and future generations.
This courageous generation-spanning epic premiered at TIFF to rave reviews and received five nominations at the Canadian Screen Awards including Best Original Screenplay.
