First Nation Initiative Underway

We’ve just completed the first phase of a video series on First Nation patients, professionals and mental health. We spent two days with Dr. Cornelia Weiman, the first aboriginal woman psychiatrist in Canada.

The series includes a half hour drama (shot in 16mm) followed by a documentary. The documentary is designed to assist the “cultural competence” of medical professionals when working with the unique needs of First Nations youth. The series is the first full co-production of Thunderstone Pictures and Shebandowan Films.
