A documentary which interweaves the stories of the Indigenous relationship with Pacific salmon and residential school survivors will be screened Sept. 28 in Williams Lake.
Michael Moses will be hosting an Orange Shirt Day film night at the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Centre at 90 Fourth Avenue and screening the film Returning Home.
The film, by Sean Stiller, is based around both the story of Phyllis Webstad, founder of Orange Shirt Day, and brings together the stories of residential school survivors and the wild salmon stocks along B.C.'s coast which return each year to feed the interior people and ecosystems.
Moses said the film night will also be the first time he'll see the film and he's both excited about watching it and interested to see how the stories of both salmon and survivors are woven together.
"I think it will hit pretty close to home considering the landslide we had this year blocking off the Chilcotin River," said Moses, who organized the event, with help from both the Community Arts Council of Williams Lake and Orange Shirt Society
Entry is by donation to the Orange Shirt Society and doors will open at 7 p.m. with the film starting around 7:30 p.m. Moses recommends people come early because seating will be limited and entry is on a first-come, first-served basis.
