Screening of Unrepentant by Kevin Annett on Wednesday 16.9 at 6pm
Dear friend of Arkadia,
Vello Ruus ( Canadian writer and teacher living in Helsinki) will introduce the screening of Unrepentant, the film by fellow Canadian Kevin Annett at the bookshop on Wednesday 16.9 at 6pm. The film tells the absolutely tragic story of the native community of Canada. The film is powerful, thought provoking and doesn’t shy away from controversy. Everyone is warmly invited to take part in a discussion afterwards and express his or her views. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Annett)
Warm regards,
Ian

Vello Ruus recommends the following sites:
Kevin Annett, whose Indian name is Eagle Strong Voice, went to Port Alberni, British Columbia, Canada to work as a United Church Minister in 1992. Surprised by the absence of First Nations People in his congregation, he began to reach out to them. His involvement with the local Native community led to a deeper investigation of Canada’s hidden history of genocide. He was ultimately expelled from the United Church and shunned by the mainstream media for what he uncovered. Unrepentant tells the story of what he found. www.hiddenfromhistory.org
