As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES annual programming, the Toronto Public Library – Parliament Street Branch is offering free screening of the following short film, in celebration of National Indigenous History Month :

Evan’s Drum (Ossie Michelin | 2021 | 14 min)

An adventurous young boy and his determined mother share a passion for Inuit drum dancing in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Evan’s Drum is a joyful visit to a family’s loving home, and an uplifting story of cultural pride. After generations of silence, the rhythm of the traditional Inuit drum has returned to Labrador, and seven-year-old Evan is part of the new generation that will keep its heartbeat strong.
