Award-winning Indigenous documentary to screen in Lethbridge

A locally produced documentary that has won multiple awards at national film festivals will make a screening appearance in Lethbridge this Thursday night.

Siksikakowan: The Blackfoot Man is a film directed by Siksika filmmaker Sinakson Trevor Solway, who explores the lives of Blackfoot men as they navigate identity, kinship and the complex expectations of manhood. Solway says the observational film style is meant to show a multifaceted side of a number of Blackfoot men who live across the province.

The Lethbridge premiere of Siksikakowan: The Blackfoot Man is this Thursday, October 2nd at 6:15 PM at The Movie Mill. Solway will be providing a live Q&A session during the event.
