About
The Walk-A-Mile Film Project, which premiered on February 6, 2014 in Thunder Bay, is a collaboration of the City of Thunder Bay's Aboriginal Liaison Unit with Thunderstone Pictures, and is a series of 5 short documentary films that address subjects such as treaties, racism, violence against women, and the way forward. The films, which are the creation of award winning indigenous film maker Michelle Derosier, are each 10-15 minutes long and are designed to educate and encourage frank conversations in our community about the reality of the life and history of Aboriginal peoples both here and across Canada. To complement the Walk-A-Mile Film Project, the city of Thunder Bay also approached an indigenous curriculum writer to develop a facilitator's guide that will teach content via modules to four different audiences: elementary and high school, college and university, the workplace, and community groups. Each module contains supplementary teaching materials (quizzes, discussion guides, facilitator's speaking notes) that frame each film so they can do what they were intended: to teach, inform, engage, and to build bridges and relationships in a very effective and kind way. Suitability: Grade 10, 11, 12 English, Native Studies, History, Social Studies, History.
