  • National Canada Film Day Movie: Beans (2020)

    Culture and entertainment History
    Time: 01:00 PM - 03:00 PM
    Location(s): Point Pelee National Park
    Cost: Included in admission
    Wheelchair Accessible

    Location: Visitor Centre Theatre

    Time: 1 p.m.

    Runtime: 92 minutes

    Genre: Drama

    Beans takes place at the height of the 1990 Mohawk Resistance at Kanehsatà:ke (also known as the Oka Crisis), a 78-day standoff between Indigenous land defenders, Quebec police, the RCMP and the Canadian military, over the proposed expansion of a golf course on to a Mohawk burial ground. Twelve-year-old Tekehentahkhwa (nicknamed “Beans”, played by Kiawentiio) is forced into an early coming of age by these events, as her innocence turns to anger over the treatment of her people.

    Drawing from her own experiences as a child, director Tracey Deer provides a poignant and engaging chronicle of these real-life events that shook the nation, as well as a much-needed look at how the traumatic events impacted youth in the community.

    Beans premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and won the 2021 Canadian Screen Award for Best Picture.

    Content Note: This film includes coarse language, violence, and thematic elements that may not be suitable for all audiences.

  • National Canada Film Day Movie: Angry Inuk (2016)

    Culture and entertainment History
    Time: 06:30 PM - 08:30 PM
    Location(s): Point Pelee National Park
    Cost: Included in admission
    Wheelchair Accessible

    Location: Visitor Centre Theatre

    Time: 6:30 p.m.

    Runtime: 85 minutes

    Genre: Documentary

    We all know about the terrible “brutality” of the Arctic seal hunt — or do we? Turns out there are other sides to this story: it's the story of families that need to be fed, the story of a hunting practice that began centuries ago and the story of a tradition that is central to the economy and food security of Inuit communities in the Canadian Arctic. Angry Inuk contains a story that’s over 4,000 years old.

    The seal hunt is not exactly a laughing matter, but humour and technical savvy go a long way to debunk certain claims. Wryly tackling both misinformation and aggressive appeals to emotion, Inuk filmmaker Arnaquq-Baril equips herself and her community with the powers of social media — and yes, #sealfies — to reframe a controversial topic as a cultural issue in this 2016 Audience Award–winning Hot Docs hit.
