Tonight will be the screening of the 2023 film, Aitamaako’Tamisskappi Natosi: Before The Sun, directed by Banchi Hanuse and produced by Carey Newman, Izzy Pullen, and Mike Wavrecan.
“The connection Indigenous people share with horses is spiritual and incredibly special. This film offers the thrilling portrait of a young Siksika woman and the deep bonds between her father and family in the golden plains of Blackfoot Territory in Alberta as she prepares for one of the most dangerous horse races in the world…on bareback. A sport for the truly brave, Logan Red Crow is an Indian Relay rider who vaults from horse to horse in short, exhilarating races. She is a champion in the making. Besides her skill and sheer grit, Logan has a loving family, an elite group of horses, and a home on her ancestral lands.”
Film Night is held at the Vancouver Island Regional Library, 6671 Wadams Way
