About the Film

Based on the award-winning novel by Ojibway author Richard Wagamese, Indian Horse tells the story of Saul Indian Horse, a young Ojibway boy who is taken from his family and placed in a Canadian residential school.

Separated from his language, culture and family, Saul experiences the devastating impacts of the residential school system. He finds an escape through hockey, where his extraordinary talent opens new opportunities. As Saul grows older, however, the trauma of his past continues to follow him, and he must confront his experiences as he begins a journey toward healing.

Indian Horse is a powerful story of loss, resilience, identity and healing that sheds light on the history and lasting impacts of Canada's residential school system.
