SUMMARY:The Apology - A Film Screening and Discussion - HYBRID EVENT
DESCRIPTION:‘As we approach National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21\, we invite you to a special screening of The Apology\, the first in a two-part documentary series by Métis filmmaker Matt LeMay and Inuk filmmaker Crystal Martin of Indigenous Geographic. \nThe Apology offers an unprecedented and emotionally charged portrait of a pivotal moment in Canada’s journey toward truth and reconciliation. Granted exclusive access\, LeMay and Martin were the only film crew in the world to follow the Indigenous delegation to the Vatican—a historic visit that led to Pope Francis’s apology for the Catholic Church’s role in the residential school system. \nBut the story does not end in Rome. The filmmakers continue their journey across Canada during the Pope’s visit\, following Survivors\, Elders\, and Indigenous communities as they gather to witness the apology delivered on their own lands. Through intimate reflections and powerful public ceremonies\, the film captures the full spectrum of emotion—grief\, anger\, hope\, and resilience—that defines this chapter in our collective history. \nThis landmark documentary provides rare\, behind-the-scenes access to history in the making. It shines a powerful light on the enduring strength and spirit of Indigenous Peoples in their pursuit of justice\, healing\, and reconciliation. \nJoin us for this impactful screening and stay for a facilitated discussion afterward\, as we reflect on what it means to listen\, learn\, and walk forward together in the spirit of reconciliation. \nThis event is part of Local Immigration Partnership – Lanark & Renfrew’s Culture Connect.’ \nREGISTER HERE
