They Know Not What They Do
Available from September 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, They Know Not What They Do, by Siminovitch Award laureate and former NEPA Artistic Director, Tara Beagan, follows three separate yet parallel journeys through Residential School. Stories of survival weave through time, and as we hear from Elders in the present day and moments in their own voices as small children, we are reminded that these atrocities were perpetrated on vulnerable young people. Within these stories of survival live the strength and wisdom of our ancestors, past, present, and future.
