The Road Forward is an electrifying musical documentary that connects a pivotal moment in Canada’s civil rights history—the beginnings of Indian Nationalism in the 1930s—with the powerful momentum of First Nations activism today.  Interviews and musical sequences describe how a tiny movement, the Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood, grew to become a successful voice for change across the country. Visually stunning, The Road Forward seamlessly connects past and present through superbly produced story-songs with soaring vocals, blues, rock, and traditional beats.

The Road Forward

A study of the relationship between the First Nations and the Government of Canada. Treaties were created and agreed upon but different governments often took away land from the Indians without compensation. The colonial governments took actions to make the native people be more like us but, as happened in many colonies around the world, that did not happen successfully.
