Alanis Obomsawin’s 50th film reveals how a Cree community in Manitoba has been enriched through the power of education.

Synopsis

Education is key to the future of any nation. Distinguished director Alanis Obomsawin visits a Cree community in Manitoba that’s putting this principle into practice in OUR PEOPLE WILL BE HEALED, her 50th film. The Helen Betty Osborne Ininiw Education Resource Centre in Norway House, north of Winnipeg, receives a level of funding that few other Indigenous institutions enjoy. Its teachers help their students to develop their abilities and their sense of pride. In addition to teaching academic subjects, the school reconnects students with their ancestral culture.
