Niigaanibatowaad: FrontRunners
A memory play, narrated by the main character Thomas (Ron
Desmoulins), an aboriginal residential school survivor now in his fifties. He has been invited by the organizers
of the 1999 Pan Am Games to finish a run that abruptly ended 400 metres too early in
1967. The invitation revives memories and finally, after a painful confrontation, he realizes that finishing the
run is the first step down the path of healing. The hour-long drama special for television is based on the true
stories told to Laura Robinson by the 1967 Pan Am Games torch runners. Laura Robinson, one of the producers, and
Bill Chippeway, an Edmontonian and a marathoner featured in the film, will attend the screening in the Library
Theatre. 7 pm
