1200+ Teachings

The full scope of violence and abuse against Indigenous women and girls in Canada remains overlooked and misunderstood. The 2018 film “1200+” by Keewatin Productions is a call to awareness and action on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, that also serves as a public education tool to increase understanding and empathy toward victims of violence. The film helps viewers contextualize gender-based violence and shifts attitudes from apathy to action. Ma Mawi Chi Itata Centre and Keewatin Productions are partnering to develop a curriculum, resources and teachings that will complement the film, and strategize to create a sustainable business that shares teachings with schools, government, companies and other institutions in Manitoba and across the country.
