We are very proud to present Bones of Crows as the opening night film of BIRRARANGGA Film Festival.
Proudly presented in partnership with Ngarara Willim & RMIT Culture.
Removed from their family home and forced into Canada’s residential school system, Cree musical prodigy Aline and her siblings are plunged into a struggle for survival. Bones of Crows is Aline’s journey from child to matriarch, a moving multi-generational epic of resilience, survival and the pursuit of justice.
Director Marie Clements will be in attendance for a Q & A after the screening.
