Secret Path Screenings Multiple locations

Secret Path Screenings (Part of the annual Walk for Wenjack initiative).

The Secret Path is an animated film adaptation of Gord Downie’s album and Jeff Lemire’s graphic novel. Working with Downie’s poetry and music, Lemire has created a powerful visual representation of the life of Chanie Wenjack. The film is divided into ten chapters, each a song from Downie’s musical retelling of Chanie’s story – from his escape from the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School, to his subsequent and heartbreaking death from hunger and exposure to the harsh weather. The final product is a uniquely immersive emotional experience – an insight into the life of a little boy who, as Gord has said, he never knew, “but will always love.”

Run Time: 60 minutes

Secret Path Screenings are offered as part of the annual Walk for Wenjack initiative, hosted in partnership with Cape Croker Park, Ktaamgwedaagwad Gindasswin Adult Learning Centre, Nawash Chief & Council, Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre, Bruce County Public Library, Municipality of Kincardine, Municipality of Brockton, and Bruce Power.
