Description
The PCJ Society has partnered with the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) and Canadian Studies Student Union to present a film screening event on Aboriginal peoples, First Contact.
Most Canadians have never taken the time to get to know Indigenous People or visit their communities. First Contact takes six average Canadians, all with strong opinions about Indigenous People, on a unique 28-day journey into Indigenous Canada. Leaving their everyday lives behind, the six travel deep into Winnipeg, Nunavut, Alberta, Northern Ontario, and the coast of British Columbia to visit Indigenous communities. First Contact is a journey that will turn the six participants’ lives upside down, challenging their perceptions and confronting their opinions about a world they never imagined they would see. It is an experience that will change their lives, forever.
The movie will run for roughly 50 minutes, before which we will open up a panel discussion with Professors from the Indigenous Studies Department at U of T, as well as members of audience (speaker information to follow).
This event is free and open to all University of Toronto students. Tickets are limited. Please register on Eventbite.
