RRC Polytech’s Digital Film and Media Production Program and Nikâwiy Productions are proud to present the first public screening of Kita kiskithihtahkwaw: So They Will Know. Fawnda Neckoway makes her directorial debut in this heartwarming 20-minute film in honor of a hopeful future when it comes to discussing a difficult part of history with the young ones in our lives.

Moderated by Aaron Zeghers, the evening will feature an opening film A Moccasin Creation Story, and host a brief informative session with Industry Representatives such as Film Training Manitoba, Red River College Polytechnic and the Winnipeg Indigenous Filmmakers Collective.

The name of the film was gifted from her aunt who said in a conversation ‘they need to know’, which later translated to the Inthinew (Cree) language as Kita kiskithihtahkwaw: ‘So They Will Know’. We acknowledge the elders/survivors who lived through Residential Schools and remember the ones who did not make it home.
