Three mid-length documentaries featuring some very important stories from around Alberta. From homelessness in Edmonton to a young couple starting a new family to a community rallying around a tragic event, this shorts package will give audiences a broad perspective of unique viewpoints within our province.
On March 17, 2019, Melodie Ayoungman lived a mother’s worst nightmare. Her 24-year-old son, Kristian, a hockey player popular in his community, was killed in an argument over a $20 pack of cigarettes. This complicated case stands as a symbol of ongoing racial tensions challenging many communities across Canada.
As a tribute to her son, Melodie has spoken out, not in anger, but with a call for new understanding and friendship between the community of Strathmore and the neighbouring Siksika Nation. “We are all human beings. We must live together.”
