Part 03 – Áísaiksisttoo

In Part 3, we dive into the legacy of Alberta’s Indigenous communities whose stories and contributions to Alberta’s film industry have long-been misrepresented or pigeonholed into heavy, harmful stereotypes in Hollywood.

Ingrid and Liam sit down with Siksika Filmmaker Trevor Solway, and Cree Actor Michelle Thrush, whose individual contributions to Alberta’s film and television industry have seen them subvert tropes and push boundaries around what Indigenous cinema is, and how it’s interpreted.
