From the maker of Elder in the Making and Fox Chaser comes a special screening of the documentary film Warrior Fathers in honour of the many fathers who work hard to raise and nurture their children. Thomas Snow, a Stoney Nakoda father searches his upbringing for wisdom on parenting his two youngest children in a colonial world. He finds himself caught between an unhealthy community on reserve suffering from generations of trauma and a technology-obsessed Western culture that is disconnected from the land. Thomas wants to bring traditional practices into their family life. But living far from the community which raised him, how will he parents his kids?
The screening will be followed by an intimate Q&A with Director Chris Hsiung and story lead, Thomas Snow. Their collaboration on the film began over coffee when they mused about how there weren’t many positive films about fatherhood. Between diaper changes and epic meltdowns, they found a way to share the heartwarming story of Warrior Fathers.
