SUMMARY:On the Long Road to Reconciliation: A story exchange
DESCRIPTION:Community Works Manitoba has scheduled a second retrospective screening of short video stories produced by community members. Six storytellers\, 3 Indigenous and 3 non-Indigenous\, will screen short personal videos and then reflect on the production process and on the role of stories in their life journeys. This will be followed by a Q & A and with the opportunity for audience members to continue the conversation over refreshments in the theatre foyer.  \nOur last retrospective screening in Jan. 2025 called Strangers No More: Stories of Culture and Identity was extraordinary.  We look forward to having you join us for this second screening. Tickets are free but you need to register.  \nHere’s a comment from an audience member from the last event. We know that the May event will offer the Winnipeg community a rich experience.   \n“My heart is full with a bushel of stories. Six amazing lived experience stories. Tender. Some big\, some small\, but every story significant and every story a gift. I thought my heart would burst.” Cate Friesen\, The Story Source
