This monthly film series brings you the best in animated and documentary film from the National Film Board of Canada. Featuring stories from at home and around the world, the NFB Film Club is your window to issues shaping our world. From geopolitics to animated frolics, there's something for everyone. In honor of National Aboriginal Month Sprucewood is playing the feature-length documentary "Hi-Ho Mistahey!" at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, June 21.

In 2008, 14-year-old Shannen Koostachin, a student from the Cree community of Attawapiskat, launched a campaign to build a suitable school for the children of her village. Two years later, tragedy struck when Shannen was killed in a car accident. Hi-Ho Mistahey!, tells the story of Shannen’s Dream, a national campaign to ensure that First Nations students have fair access to education in safe and comfortable schools. Participation across Canada eventually brings Shannen's Dream all the way to the United Nations in Geneva.
