NINAN AUASSAT: WE, THE CHILDREN
Shot over more than six years, Ninan Auassat: We, the Children brings us the moving stories of three groups of children from three different Indigenous nations: Atikamekw, Eeyou Cree, and Innu. Filmed from “a child’s eye view” and presenting a groundbreaking vision of contemporary Indigenous youth, this documentary is notable for the complete absence of adult voices and “experts” on young people, holding space instead for a new generation with a burning desire to be heard. The result is a captivating journey that becomes a call to action at a time when the voices of young people echo, demanding the right to be recognized and an opportunity to blossom.
