SPECIAL COMMUNITY SCREENING

FRI, FEB 3rd @ 7pm SCREENING SOLD OUT Film following by a Q&A the film’s producer & actor Bones of Crows will return in April. Questions about the screening, please email us at info@starcinema.ca

“An epic tale of Indigenous resilience.” “Bones of Crows is a soul-changing film. It’s simply exquisite storytelling.” BONES OF CROWS is told through the eyes of Cree Matriarch Aline Spears as she survives a childhood in Canada's residential school system to continue her family's generational fight in the face of systemic starvation, racism, and sexual abuse. She uses her uncanny ability to understand and translate codes into working for a special division of the Canadian Air Force as a Cree code talker in World War II. The story unfolds over 100 years with a cumulative force that propels us into the future. APTN News report with the cast and director
