sorry for the diversion, but want to share a great movie and horrible part of Canada's history. The only 'media' relation message to this is that Clint Eastwood joined on to this project as Exec Prod.
The movie is Indian Horse. Available on Google Play, youtube, and probably other places for a $5 rental. https://www.indianhorse.ca/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Horse_(film) It is a story about a native boy taken to a Residential School, learns hockey, and then the story continues about his life. Yes, I have over-summarized it. If you like somewhat-historical films with a human story, this might be good for you. Some historical Canadian context. I was born in 1967. I'm age 51 now. Either I didn't pay much attention to things decades ago, or I was not taught about the tragedy of the residential schools. I will summarise: from the late 1800s the 'white man' figured they would take native children away from their parents, teach them Christianity, and try to (effectively) genocide the native culture. Yeah, shitty. I'm irritated that I didn't learn this until much much later. I'm glad that my 20-something kids are learning it now from books and movies. a short CBC article about the history of residential schools. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/a-history-of-residential-schools-in-canada-1.702280 geographic footnote -- the movie was all shot within a 4-hour drive of where I live. The geography is real (beautiful), and is the original territory of the Ojibway/Anishinaabe, which is noted in the credits. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
