The Polygon Gallery is witnessing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation through a selection of films from the National Film Board. These films highlight Indigenous voices and experiences in Canada. They show the continued impact residential schools had on survivors and communities, while also highlighting the reclamation and revitalization of Indigenous communities and culture.

The films will be playing on a continuous loop from 10:00am until 5:00pm.
