Film series: Stories of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women

Stories of Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women

The Saskatoon Public Library will feature several programs as part of Aboriginal Storytellling month (February). On Feb 7, two films in honour of missing and murdered Indigenous women will be screened at the Frances Morrison Library Theatre.

7 Minutes is an award-winning documentary film by Tasha Hubbard, an assistant professor in the Department of English. It tells the story of a young woman's seven-minute walk from her university library to her home. It’s a walk she has made many times but one night she is followed by a man who tries to get her into his van. Relieved to have escaped, her story speaks to the threat Indigenous women confront on a daily basis.

My Only Daughter, a documentary by Grace Smith, focuses on the disappearance of Karina Wolfe and her mother's journey to find her missing daughter.

Both Hubbard and Smith will be on hand after the screening for a panel discussion. Coffee, tea, snacks will be provided in the reception following.
