Run
A story of family, tradition, love, and forgiveness, Run illustrates the journey of a Metis teenager who is sent to spend a summer with her grandparents on her family farm.
She develops a love-hate relationship with her full-blooded Cree grandfather, who teaches her traditions he learned as a child, but is also strict about rules and demands her respect.
Her eye-opening summer takes a dramatic turn when she stumbles upon a secret that threatens to tear her family apart.
This film will start at 7 p.m., kicking off a night of fantastic aboriginal cinema.

CBQM Radio
Dennis Allen's portrait of a small town radio station - the "Moccasin Telegraph" - displays how much a radio station can mean to a community, how much it can interweave itself with the identities of its listeners, and in doing so paints a portrait of life in a small Northern town.
It is a celebration of storytelling, music, and culture that you should not miss. CBQM Radio starts at 8:45 p.m. tonight at Northern United Place.
