The official trailer for the film Indian Horse adapted from Richard Wagamese's novel.
"Like the Richard Wagamese novel on which it is based, the drama Indian Horse combines one of Canada’s greatest national glories — the game of ice hockey — with one of the darkest chapters in its national history: the terrible goings-on at Canadian-Indian residential schools where aboriginal children were taught to be good Christians, far removed from their own culture and heritage." - Review by Boyd Van Hoeij for the Hollywood Reporter
"Still, the essence and importance of Wagamese’s book – both the brutality and the beauty – shines through, more vital than ever." - Review by Mark Medley for the Globe and Mail
A look into the creation of the movie, where CBC sits down with Indigenous former NHL players, like Fred Sasakamoose, about what the film has to say about hockey culture in Canada, and how it's relevant to their own experience. Along with conversations from the actors of the film and their experiences representing this time in Canadian culture.
