Origins - Festival of First Nations
Gene Boy Came Home - (9 May – Birkbeck, University of London 11.15am)
The harrowing and deeply moving story of a young Odanak man's two years of service in Vietnam and his long journey home.
At this critical point in the world's history, celebrated filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin turns her camera on the ugliness
of war through the eyes of one survivor.
Her new documentary will resonate with all those who have been touched by war,
or who has had to travel the painful path of healing that eventually leads home.
