To accompany our three short films, we have created a portfolio of teaching resources to help instructors and institutions create meaningful and educational plans using our films.
Package 1: The Road
The Road is an award-winning short film starring the Indigenous girls of Stardale Women's Group. It explores various themes pertaining to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and the legacy and inter-generational impact of colonialism in Canada.
Package 2: Shadows in Time
To reveal deep-rooted biases about race and gender, the young women and girls of Stardale Women’s Group share painful stories about their lost history, loss of identity, loss of community, family and friends. Whether intentional or unintentional, the film showcases how racial microaggressions are incessant and cumulative, and have detrimental impacts on their mental, physical and social well-being.
Package 3: A Light in the Shadow
A Light in the Shadow follows the interconnected stories of several Indigenous women as they struggle with hardships and find inspiration in each other. Broken into four segments, each written and directed by a girl from the Stardale group, the film explores hope through connection. At its core A Light in the Shadow is a story about the importance of representation and how seeing marginalized stories portrayed broadly can make a difference for younger audiences.
