Each screening will feature post-show Q&As with the filmmakers and special guests including Kevin Hearn of The Barenaked Ladies, Juno Award-winning musician Tom Wilson, renowned architect Douglas Cardinal, and more!

“The Regent Theatre is proud to continue a tradition of shared story telling which amplifies Indigenous voices. For us, as a theatre, art is action hence our series title Truth and ReconciliACTION.
