As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES programming, the Saint John Free Public Library will present Ninan Auassat: We, the Children, free movie screenings at the Main Branch for the month of June celebrating National Indigenous History Month.

Ninan Auassat: We, the Children (Ninan Auassat : Nous, les enfants) |  Kim O’Bomsawin | 2024 | 93 min | in French, English, Innu Aimun and Attikamekw  with English subtitles

Known for her intimate and riveting films, director Kim O’Bomsawin now invites us to experience the vibrant universe of Ninan Auassat: We the Children. Shot over more than six years, the film brings us the moving stories of three groups of children from three different Indigenous nations: Atikamekw, Eeyou Cree and Innu. In following these young people through the crucial milestones of childhood, right to the threshold of adulthood, we witness their daily lives and aspirations, along with the challenges they face. 

Filmed from “a child’s eye-view” and presenting a groundbreaking vision of contemporary Indigenous youth, this documentary is notable for the complete absence of adult voices and “experts on young people”—holding space instead for a new generation with a burning desire to be heard.
