Cree filmmaker Tasha Hubbard wishes she never had to make the documentary nîpawistamâsowin: We Will Stand, which follows the family of Colten Boushie, the young man who died from a gunshot to the back of his head in August 2016 after entering the farm property of Gerald Stanley in Saskatchewan.
“I felt compelled to make it,” says Hubbard of her award winning 2019 documentary after just finishing her first feature film and intended on taking a break from work.
Hubbard, who is from Peepeekisis First Nation in Treaty 4 territory has made four films to date, all have received awards, including the 2017 documentary Birth of a Family.
The film is about the reunion of four First Nations siblings separated as part of the Sixties Scoop.
Hubbard herself was adopted into a farm family and grew up in rural Saskatchewan.
She’s witnessed a lot of changes in the film sector.
