Spencer Bubis created a short film that shows the complex history, identities, intercultural relationships and systems that affect the relationship between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous people in Winnipeg. “While we all know it will be a long and incredibly difficult process, we believe that film is one of the best tools to cultivate empathy within people.”
Spencer received a community service grant for his project from #RisingYouth.
