Indigenous documentary being screened at Anglican Church – The Fitzhugh

September 23, 2021

Jasperties will have the opportunity to learn about the history of the local Indigenous population during a free outdoor screening of a documentary.

In honour of National Truth and Reconciliation Day, “Resilient: The Aseniwuche Winewak Story” will be shown on the outside wall of Jasper’s St. Mary and St. George’s Anglican Church on Sept. 30.

“We’re just the filmmakers, this isn’t our story, this is the Aseniwuche people’s story, but we just have the honour of being able to tell it the best way we could, because it’s such a monster of a story,” said Len Morissette, who wrote and directed the film with Ryan Dalgleish.

Morissette and Dalgleish came up with the idea for this documentary while working on other videos for the Aseniwuche Winewak Nation (AWN).
