Description
Join us at HotDocs 2017 for an inspiring movie and an engaging post-movie chat!
We’re watching Bee Nation, a film that highlights kids who have dedicated themselves to their education in an inspiring story that encourages us all to be our best selves. Kahkewistahaw First Nation Reserve is a world away from Toronto in so many ways, but for Grade 3 student William Kaysaywaysemat III it’s a journey he’s keen to make to represent his school and community. Through the first province-wide First Nations Spelling Bee, William and many others have an opportunity to compete against the nation’s best. The tensions of the competitions are highly compelling cinema, but the heart of the film lies with the families and teachers.
For those able to join afterwards, join us for a delicious dinner at a halal eatery and an engaging post-movie chat. Spots are limited, sign up asap!
