The Pass System (2015)
The Pass System illuminates Canada’s hidden history of racial segregation. For over 60 years, the Canadian government often denied Indigenous peoples the basic freedom to leave their reserves without a pass. Cree, Saulteaux, Dene, Ojibwe and Blackfoot elders of the prairie land where this took place tell their stories of living under and resisting the system, and link their experiences to today. Acclaimed Cree actor and activist Tantoo Cardinal (Dances with Wolves, Legends of the Fall) narrates this investigative look into a little-known Canada.

After the Last River (2015)
In the shadow of a De Beers diamond mine, a remote indigenous community lurches from crisis to crisis, as their homeland transforms into a modern frontier. Rosie Koostachin delivers donations to families who live in uninsulated sheds, overgrown with toxic mold. She is determined to raise awareness, believing that if only Canadians knew, her hometown's dire situation would improve. Over five years, filmmaker Victoria Lean follows Attawapiskat's journey from obscurity and into the international spotlight twice - first when the Red Cross intervenes and again during the protest movement, Idle No More. Weaving together great distances, intimate scenes and archive images, the documentary chronicles the First Nation's fight for justice in the face of hardened indifference.

Beyond Human Power
In Canada, in a landmark case of government oppression, 23 indigenous men and women off British Columbia's coast, were jailed for being themselves. Now, decades later, the society that once found them barbaric and 'unchristian', embrace them with wonderment and spiritual curiosity. In this visually stunning documentary, viewers meet inspiring people from Vancouver to Alert Bay and from Terrace to the Yukon whose lives are rooted in their culture, and whose call to dance is...beyond human power.
