Meet Brenda Greyeyes: Clip from COMING HOME (Wanna Icipus Kupi)

"My whole entire life, I had felt lost and alone. What would I have been had I had a chance to grow up in my home community?"
~Brenda Greyeyes, Employment, Training, and Economic Development Manager for the East Resorce Centre of the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation. Miigwech to Brenda for sharing her story with us.
"When we come with an open mind and an open heart to filmmaking, and when people are ready to tell their stories - something magical happens. The people interviewed in Coming Home were intimate and trusting of director Erica Marie Daniels.
They told stories of pain and heartache, but also of triumph. Erica did an incredible job of bringing those stories to the audience. Erica is a rising star in the film Industry, and I am proud of what she and our whole team have accomplished with Coming Home.
They have brought light to a story seldom told in Canada about the #SixtiesScoop. We are in a new era of bringing out stories of what happened to us - that we are sharing with audiences in hopes that there will be understanding. Stories have the power to open our hearts. They have the power to change lives, both for the storytellers and the listeners. There is a spirit in the story that shines through and can help us all move forward into a better future." ~ Ernest Webb Executive Producer.
