SUMMARY:AutismBC Goes: Watch “They Are Sacred” at DOXA
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for a Film That Celebrates Autism and Indigenous Knowledge \nAutismBC is heading to the DOXA Documentary Film Festival for a world premiere screening of They Are Sacred\, a powerful film by director Kim O’Bomsawin. \nThey Are Sacred offers a unique and deeply meaningful perspective on autism through an Indigenous lens. The film follows young Anders (Sacred Buffalo Child) and his father\, Dr. Grant Bruno (Yellow Horse)\, of the Samson Cree Nation. Dr. Bruno\, a pediatric researcher and professor\, challenges deficit-based views of autism and uplifts Cree traditions that honour neurodiversity as a sacred gift. \nAs Anders participates in ceremony\, receives his Cree name\, and learns to hunt\, They Are Sacred illustrates how cultural knowledge and spiritual connection can support growth\, identity\, and belonging. It also brings attention to the systemic barriers Indigenous families face when accessing autism support that aligns with their values. \nJoin us to watch this powerful story of reclamation\, connection\, and neuro-affirming care. \nWhat:  \n\nWorld Premiere screening of “They Are Sacred”\, with a Q&A Session with Kim O’Bomsawin  \n\nWhen:  \n\nWednesday\, May 7\, 2025\, 9:30 AM–12:00 PM PT \n\nWhere: \n\nSFU — Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema (map link)\n149 W Hastings St\, Vancouver\, BC V6B 1H4\nThis venue is wheelchair accessible\n\nWho:  \n\nAutistic adults who are AutismBC Individual Members\nFamilies with an active AutismBC Family Membership\nMust reside in the Lower Mainland\n\nNo formal diagnosis or assessment required\n\n\n\nAutismBC Goes Entry Rules & Details:  \n\nRegistration opens May 1\, 2025 at 9:00 AM \nEvent registration is first-come\, first-served \nYou may reserve up to 2 admissions per membership/household \nThis is an all-ages screening \nWe will maintain a waitlist for cancellation opportunities.\nIf you need to cancel your attendance\, please provide us with 48 hours’ notice by emailing us at programs@autismbc.ca or logging in to the portal and updating your event registration. \n\nTentative schedule:  \n\n9:30 AM — Arrival: Get seat assignments\, food and drinks\, find the washrooms\, meet and greet with Anne Honeycutt (Regional Coordinator – Lower Mainland) \n9:50 AM — Be seated \n10:00 AM — Documentary starts\n11:15 AM — Documentary ends\, bathroom and sensory breaks \n11:30 AM — Q&A with director Kim O’Bomsawin \n12:00 PM — Q&A ends\, Goes completes. \n\n*** Experience/Content Warning***   \n\nScreening: 75 minutes \nQ&A: 20 minutes \nYear: 2025 \nRuntime: 76 mins \nLanguage: English\, Cree \nCountry: Canada \nPremiere: World Premiere \nContent Warning: Hunting/slaughter\, animal death\, discussion of ableism. \nDirector: Kim O’Bomsawin \nProducer: Andrée-Anne Frenette \nCast: Grant Bruno\, Anders Bruno \n\nHow to Enter:  \nPlease click the register now button below and log in to your account. \n If you’re having difficulties with your login\, please email us at programs@autismbc.ca  \nRegistration closes Monday\, May 5th\, 2025 at noon or when all spots are taken.  \n  \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nYou must be an AutismBC Member to be eligible to attend this event.  \nNot yet a member?
