About The Film
This film deals with the tough issues of depression, suicide and racism. It is intended for therapeutic use with clients to show the importance of group therapy and to spark discussion about these critical issues. It also serves to illustrate the diversity within modern Anishinawbe culture. This community film project was written by Michelle Derosier of Eagle Lake First Nation (Thunderstone Pictures), was shot on Super 16mm film and post-produced in high definition (HD) for maximum production value. It was shot on location in the city of Thunder Bay and on the Fort William First Nation and features a stunning cast of first-time actors from the Northwestern Ontario, Canada region.

As an extension of this project, we have also made a 30-minute educational documentary called "Sharing Tebwewin" (Sharing The Truth) designed to help health workers become more "culturally competent" when working with First Nations clients.
