Ahkamêyimok at Metro Cinema

Join Bent Arrow Traditional Healing Society for a screening of Ahkamêyimok (“To Persevere”), a powerful and uplifting 39-minute documentary from award-winning local director Vernon Boldick. 

The documentary explores the lasting impacts of colonization while featuring the important and impactful work of Bent Arrow, Edmonton’s largest urban Indigenous non-profit. Told through the voices of Ashley Mincone, Mike Day, and Joanne Woods, this is a story about the people Bent Arrow serves and the importance of healing, belonging, and connecting to culture.

That’s not all—stick around for a lively panel discussion with cast, crew, Elders, and Bent Arrow staff, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and personal journeys. It’s a night of community, culture, and connection you won’t want to miss!
