Carrier Sekani Family Services showcased 'Stories of Hope and Strength,' a film series highlighting Indigenous women, girls, and LGBTQ2+ community members. Directed by Johnny Ketlo, the series shares personal narratives of resilience and empowerment, aiming to shift the narrative on violence against Indigenous peoples.
Carrier Sekani Family Services unveiled Stories of Hope and Strength, a powerful film series amplifying the voices of Indigenous women, girls, and LGBTQ2+ communities at the Prince George Playhouse last month.
Stories of Hope and Strength proudly launched its short film series on social media and writer director Johnny Ketlo’s Guardians of the Lost features the people of Nadleh Whu’ten as they share stories of love, loss and their hope for justice and the future. They embody “you are valued” by honouring families and loved ones and by highlighting the importance of each story and person who has been lost along the Highway of Tears.
“I’ve been a musician, a producer of music and music videos and I also work as a comedy stage hypnotist, and I’ve also done artwork for the Telus vehicle fleet and the First Nations Major Projects Coalition – so pretty major art projects,” Ketlo said.
“When they get older and find themselves in a loving situation they want to run from it because it triggers that past abuse even if it is loving. That causes a lot of pain and a lot of people are reeling from that pain even now – today – this day. It’s just not fair.
