Dr. Cindy Peltier, Associate Professor and Chair in Indigenous Education in the Schulich School of Education, will be releasing her new film, This Was Real on November 2.
A poetic interpretation of her dissertation, the film shares an Anishinaabe collective story of cancer through the lens of the teachings. Facing a struggle with choices and the weight of emotional burdens, one woman comes to terms with an understanding that cancer can be a teacher.
The film will be screened virtually via Zoom on November 2 at 1 p.m. by Debajehmujig Storytellers on Manitoulin Island, where Dr. Peltier grew up.

Update: The film has now debuted and can be viewed at any time here
