Immerse yourself in six generations of Indigenous activism through story and song in this musical documentary like no other. With stunning performances by some of Canada’s finest vocalists and musicians, including Michelle St. John, The Road Forward connects a pivotal moment in Canada’s civil rights history—the beginnings of Indian Nationalism in the 1930s—with the powerful momentum of First Nations activism today. A feast for your eyes and ears, this is a soul-resounding tribute to the activists, historians and artists who work to keep their community's sense of identity alive.
Inuit singer-songwriter Susan Aglukark will participate in a post-screening discussion led by Mervon Mehta, Executive Director of Performing Arts at The Royal Conservatory.
