Muffins For Granny trailer

Muffins For Granny
88 minute documentary
DVD Release: JUNE 17th, 2008
Distributed by Mongrel Media

"Muffins For Granny is a remarkably layered, emotionally complex story of personal and cultural survival. McLaren tells the story of her own grandmother by combining precious home movie fragments with the stories of seven elders dramatically affected by their experiences in residential schools. McLaren uses animation with a painterly visual approach to move the audience between the darkness of memory and the reality that these charismatic survivors live in today."

Does anybody know what song is playing in the trailer? I can't seem to identify it... I'm beginning to think it's either not well known or was scored specifically for the film.

Hi there. This song was scored specifically for the documentary by Fabio Sartori... He has a band called "picturesound" - He did an amazing job on the score and his is Toronto based, indie - british invasion inspired - just awesome!

This is a great film. To those who are saying "forgive and forget": it is hard to forget something that is continuing to happen. Granted residential schools have been taken down, but that pain continues to sear. The racism, discrimination and all-out hate for the Native peoples of this land is STILL abundant. It is relentless. To forget is an impossibility. To forget is to dishonour and devalue all of these people and their stories.

sick trickshot

[merryprankster60]

we are now uncovering the remains of those who did NOT survive the incarceration into Indian Residential Schools ... of the policy of kidnap, torture, rape (aka assimilation) - over 50,000 children did NOT survive ... the bones are coming up broken, and cut up into pieces, mixed with animal bones ... Canada is ONE HUGE PICKTON FARM, containing the remains of over 50,000 children!

The Canadian Government forgot to list those Devils on there most wanted list ,just as \war criminals are being made Virial on social media.I lost respect and forgiveness of the Vatican and its memebers 10 years ago when the stories first came out first hand from my freinds.I would not repeat them out of respect for those who are too devestated to tell themselves.
