Join us on Monday, September 26 for the premiere of Bimibatoo‐win: Where I Ran.

The 22‐minute film shares the story of Charlie Bittern, a residential Survivor from Berens River First Nation. In the film, he remembers the harsh 80‐kilometre journey he was forced to run when he was 19 during a brutal Manitoba blizzard in 1967. More than 55 years later, he embarks on the same journey alongside his family to heal and spread awareness for all residential school Survivors and the children who didn’t make it home.

This special film screening will be accompanied by musical performances and a Q&A with Bittern and the film’s director Erica Daniels.

This film premiere will begin at 6:00 p.m. and take place in the Manitoba Teachers’ Society Classrooms. Seating is limited and available on a first‐come, first‐served basis.
