“Return to the Falls” is a 1 Hour DocuDrama following the harrowing life story of Elder Betty Ross who held the sacred teachings of her father like a torch helping her survive the residential school system. This movie forges its own path as a hybrid of dramatic, cinematic reenactments of Betty’s childhood journey of unimaginable hardships and euphoric moments of freedom combined with present day footage of Betty as she returns to the falls for the first time in more than 70 years. This riveting and educational film was created to reach audiences from Grade 5 - 12. Along with the film we will share some of the Teachers Guide information to show how this new film is a must in truly help tell the story of our nations past.
***This film is not graphic in any way and focuses more on how Betty's journey of light, forgiveness and reconciliation can be embraced by all.
