The must-see movie Indian Horse will be in Dauphin for one more time only.

DRCSS teacher, Wade Houle has chosen the book for his students to read, ever since it was released in 2014.

When he found out the movie was available for schools to have viewings, he got an application in as soon as he could.

On Saturday, the film will be played in the multi-purpose room at the DRCSS.

The film portrays a young Indigenous man, Saul, who was taken to residential school, suffered abuse, learned the sport of hockey as a means of escape and suffered addictions.

The book isn’t based on one true story, but a series of different experiences by many.

Wade Houle, teacher at the DRCSS, wants people to come out and see the movie.

“Well first off, I think the movie needs to be seen. It’s a great film, regardless of the subject matter, but the subject matter is relevant, it’s important.  It affects our community on a daily basis, whether people know it or not.  It affects students in my school; it affects families that I deal with, so just having some of that knowledge and of course talking about some of that truth, I think that’s what I want people to get the most out of it.  Come out, be open minded and be willing to ask good questions in a safe environment, in a safe way and watch a really, really good movie.”

The film costs $2.00, starts at 6:30 in the evening and everyone is welcome.
