To mark National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, join us for a screening of Alanis Obomsawin's film, Honour to Senator Murray Sinclair. As the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Senator Murray Sinclair was a key figure in raising global awareness of the atrocities of Canada’s residential school system. Alanis Obomsawin shares the powerful speech the Senator gave when he accepted the WFM-Canada World Peace Award, interspersing the heartbreaking testimonies of former students imprisoned at residential schools. The honouring of Senator Sinclair reminds us to honour the lives and legacies of the tens of thousands of Indigenous children taken from their homes and cultures, and leaves us with a profound feeling of hope for a better future.
The Spoils explores the global struggle over Nazi-looted art through the story of collector Max Stern, who fled Nazi persecution and rebuilt his life in Montreal.
