The Road Forward

The Road Forward is a 10:00 video now circulating film festivals throughout North America.

Directed by Marie Clements, The Road Forward was inspired by the groundbreaking movement of the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia, and dedicated to the countless First Nations women who have “disappeared” on B.C.‘s Highway of Tears.

Featuring: Evan Adams, Byron Chief-Moon, Leela Gilday, Jennifer Kreisberg, Kevin Loring, Pura Fé, Ostwelve and Michelle St. John.

The performance includes choreography by Michael Greyeyes and an original sculptural installation by Connie Watts.

The Road Forward was originally commissioned by the 2010 Cultural Olympiad and presented by The Four Host Nation’s Aboriginal Pavilion as the closing performance, with support from Canada Council for the Arts.
