And that’s really what’s important\, is for people to have faith that we can do this”- The Late Honourable Murray Sinclair\, Ojibwe Elder and former chair of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission. \nA central theme running through Walking Through The Fire is the need for the truth of Indigenous experience to be told before reconciliation can begin in earnest. Embedded in the title is the energy of rebirth: fire destroys\, but it also nourishes the soil to create new growth\, beauty\, and resiliency. Walking Through The Fire ensures that we emerge on the other side together\, stronger and more unified. \nSultans of String created this project in the spirit of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action\, and Final Report that asks for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to work together as an opportunity to show a path forward. Says bandleader Chris McKhool (whose grandfather was a stowaway from Lebanon at the turn of the last century)\, “We know that as a society we can’t move ahead without acknowledging and reflecting on the past. Before reconciliation can occur\, the full truth of the Indigenous experience in this country needs to be told\, so we’ve been calling on Indigenous artists to share with us their stories\, their experience\, and their lives\, so we settler Canadians can continue our learning about the history of genocide\, residential schools\, and of inter-generational impacts of colonization.” \n“The place that we have to start is with truth. Reconciliation will come sometime way in the future\, perhaps\, but right now\, truth is where we need to begin the journey with each other. As human beings\, we have to acquire that truth”- Dr. Duke Redbird – Chippewa/Anishinaabe Elder and poet \nPREVIOUS FILM AWARDS WON: Cannes World Film Festival Best\, Istanbul Film Festival\, Vancouver Independent Film Festival\, Lightbox International Film Festival\, Boston Independent Film Awards\, LA Independent Film Channel Festival\, Hollywood International Golden Age Festival\, Scarab Short Film Festival
