  Arita Koostachin (2023\, 80 min) \n\nIn Swampy Cree\, the word WaaPaKe m
 eans tomorrow—and as Attawapiskat filmmaker Jules Koostachin says in her
  deeply personal documentary\, “Tomorrow means hope. It means that we ha
 ve a future.”\n\nA powerful film about intergenerational trauma and heal
 ing\, examined through an Indigenous lens\, WaaPaKe reveals the reality o
 f living in the shadow of residential school experiences and explores ways
  in which we can change the narrative to one that offers hope and a view t
 o the future. The film creates a space for reflection and discussion so th
 at the descendants of residential school survivors may respond to this sha
 red burden of history and confront the cyclical nature of intergenerationa
 l trauma in their own lives and beyond.\n\n“…a tender portrait of how 
 we shift from a trauma-centric conversation to one of actionable healing a
 nd acceptance within family – with community\, land\, love and culture. 
 WaaPaKe is a testimony of courage\, care and respect.”\n—ImagineNATIV
