Women in the Shadows

1992 · 56 mins

Filmed on location in Saskatchewan from the Qu'Appelle Valley to Hudson Bay, the documentary traces the filmmaker's quest for her Native foremothers in spite of the reluctance to speak about Native roots on the part of her relatives. The film articulates Métis women's experience with racism in both current and historical context, and examines the forces that pushed them into the shadows.

Director: Norma Bailey

Cast: Christine Welsh, Carmen Roenspiess, Jessica Wallman, David Zelionka, Brenda Knoll
