*About “Muffins for Granny”:*
The sad history of the Canadian government`s residential school program has
had a profound effect on First Nations peoples across the country. For
filmmaker Nadia McLaren, it’s personal history as well; her Ojibway
grandmother was forced into a residential school and its repercussions have
echoed through her family. Looking to understand her loving but troubled
grandmother, McLaren interviews seven First Nations elders about their
experiences in residential schools. Mixing stark animated moments with human
faces and home movie footage, Muffins For Granny is a raw and honest
documentary about a difficult chapter in Canadian history — a chapter that,
for some, is not over. (88min. directed by Nadia McLaren).
