Tasha Hubbard: Telling Indigenous Stories
Tasha is an award-winning Cree filmmaker. Her documentaries primarily focus on social issues faced by Indigenous people in Canada. In 2004, her first solo project, the documentary Two Worlds Colliding, won a Gemini Award. It looked at starlight tours– a practice where Saskatoon police would abandon Indigenous men in freezing winter conditions.
And Tasha’s most recent film, nîpawistamâsowin: We will Stand Up, tells the tragic story of the Colton Boushie case. It’s been receiving positive reviews and was named the Best Canadian Feature at the 2019 Hot Docs Film Festival where it opened the festival and made its premiere. Most recently, it won the Ted Rogers Best Feature Length Documentary Award at the 2020 Canadian Screen Awards.
