A Canadian story about an Indigenous student’s experience in residential school and his passion for hockey, is playing at the Countryfest Community Cinema starting today.
The film came to Dauphin, as a request made by Mr. Houle, a teacher at the DRCSS, because his students were reading the book.
Ron Suchoplas, General Manager of the cinema, knows a movie is great by the reaction he sees from people.
“If you watch a movie and it’s like a roller coaster, I know they did their job, because some people are leave laughing, some people leave crying and some people leave scared. You know to me, all are kind of good emotions and you know, obviously, the movie did its job.”
How long the movie stays at the Countryfest Community Cinema, will be based on how well it’s attended this week.
Tune in for an upcoming episode of Parkland Perspectives with 730 CKDM’s Jennifer Carniel about the film.
