In the Yukon's Far North, 280 Aboriginals live in the village of Old Crow. Deep in this wilderness, the health of the children is a source of concern for Glenna Tetlichi, a Vuntut Gwitchin Nation leader. The rise in obesity, diabetes, and delinquency underscores to what extent health and social problems are linked. In the 1950s Father Jean-Marie Mouchet set up a cross-country ski program whose purpose was to restore the young people's self esteem. The program produced several champions, including Glenna, who is now a mother. In 2002, Glenna and Father Mouchet devised a new program, the Old Crow Health and Fitness Project, and overcame numerous obstacles to make it a reality. With compassion and insight, The Challenge in Old Crow shows how a handful of parents took control of the situation to ensure a future for their children. Their story is a superb illustration of commitment and perseverance.

Le défi d'Old Crow

Tout au nord du Yukon, deux cent quatre-vingts Autochtones vivent dans le village d'Old Crow. Au coeur de cette nature sauvage, la santé des enfants inquiète Glenna Tetlichi, une des leaders de la nation Vuntut Gwitchin. L'augmentation de l'obésité, du diabète et de la délinquance souligne à quel point problèmes de santé et problèmes sociaux sont liés. Dans les années 1950, le père Jean-Marie Mouchet a mis sur pied un programme de ski de fond, visant à rebâtir l'estime de soi des jeunes, lequel programme a formé plusieurs champions dont Glenna, aujourd'hui mère de famille. En 2002, Glenna et le père Mouchet ont démarré un nouveau programme, Old Crow Health and Fitness Project, qui, malgré de nombreux obstacles, a réussi à voir le jour. Avec humanité et lucidité, Le défi d'Old Crow montre comment une poignée de parents ont pris les choses en main pour assurer un avenir à leurs enfants. Un bel exemple d'engagement et de persévérance.

Spirit of the Game

"I feel the spirit of the people and a connection with mother earth in my heart when I run." These are the thoughts of 16-year-old Veronica Charter, a gold medallist at the North American Indigenous Games. Award-winning filmmaker Annie Frazier Henry follows an elite handful of Aboriginal athletes from British Columbia for two years as they make their way to the 2002 North American Indigenous Games in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Here over 6,000 young Native sportsmen and women from across Canada and the United States come to compete. It is an exhilarating journey of achievement, dedication and hardship. Spirit of the Game is a tribute to the ones who are rekindling the fire and glory of sport, for whether they win or lose, they all come home heroes.

A Child Unlike Any Other

Jan Maka was a child like any other, until his family's lives were turned upside down when it was discovered he had autism. What is it like to live with a child affected by this neurological disorder? Through the voice of Jan's devoted mother and the comments of specialists, Anna Barczewska's touching short film introduces us to the demanding reality of autism, a condition characterized by a reduced ability to communicate with the outside world. Going beyond one family's story, A Child Unlike Any Other depicts the daily struggle of parents of autistic children and their efforts to obtain therapy. A poignant cry from the heart.
