Ep. 11 - When Our Elders Die, Who Will Tell Their Stories?

On Docs

"I want people to see how brilliant our elders are," says Sarain Fox, director of "Inendi," a CBC short doc. "Whether you're Indigenous or not, your elders have a story. And whether you have an iPhone or old mini DV video camera, you can be capturing these stories and be holding on to them for generations to come." Fox joins host Colin Ellis to talk about her auntie Mary Bell - whose story she helped capture.
