Freedom Road: Women / Ikwewag(2019)
Freedom Road: Women / Ikwewag Synopsis
Shoal Lake 40 women talk about their struggles, and those of their parents and grandparents, in trying to raise their families in a hazardous state of enforced isolation. Everyone in the community has a harrowing story of a loved one falling through the ice while trying to get across the lake, with pregnant women and new mothers fearing for their babies and having no choice but to make the trek in dangerous conditions. The film shows the key role of the community’s women in demanding funding for the road from three levels of government, and how their reconnection to culture and ceremony give them the strength to keep going.
Freedom Road: Women / Ikwewag (2019) is a documentary film directed by Angelina McLeod, released on January 1, 2019 with a runtime of 12m. It stars Tania Bruyere, Roxanne Greene, Ann Redsky and Angelina McLeod.
