The Story
In honour of National Indigenous Veteran's Day, Richmond Public Library's Film Club invites you to join us for a special screening of Forgotten Warriors, from the National Film Board of Canada . About the Film: This documentary introduces us to thousands of Indigenous Canadians who enlisted and fought alongside their countrymen and women during World War II, even though they could not be conscripted. Ironically, while they fought for the freedom of others, they were being denied equality in their own country and returned home to find their land seized. Loretta Todd's poignant film offers forth the testimony of those who were there, and how they managed to heal. Rating: not rated Advisory: some thematic elements Runtime: 51 min Richmond Public Library makes every effort to adhere to the Film Club schedule as posted, but film selection may change without notice due to film release delays and/or technical issues.
