DESCRIPTION:FREE OUTDOOR FILM SCREENINGnîpawistamâsowin: We Will Stand Up
 Canada\, 2019. Directed by Tasha Hubbard. Documentary. 98mins. PG.\n\nFor

 wista-MAA-sowin – we (small group) will stand up for others (large grou
 p). On a summer day in 2016\, a young Indigenous man named Colten Boushie
  died from a gunshot to the head after entering Gerald Stanley’s rural p
 roperty with his friends. The emotionally charged trial and acquittal of S
 tanley caused shock and outrage across Canada\, capturing international at
 tention and raising questions about prejudice within the judicial system\,
  and anti-Indigenous racism in the nation.Award-winning filmmaker Tasha Hu
 bbard follows the journey of Colten’s family as they search for justice\
 , taking their fight to the highest echelons of power and\, ultimately\, t
 o the United Nations. Hubbard deftly illustrates how the long history of 
 violence against Indigenous people continues to define life in parts of Ca
 nada\, and the impact of systems that have been the instruments of colonia
 l domination for centuries. At once urgent and intimate\, nîpawistamâsow
 in: We Will Stand Up is a profound portrait of a family standing up for a 
 more just and fair society for future generations.Presented by the First
