Adam Solway's doc New Blood is helping residential school survivors find healing
New Blood follows the 10-year journey of Strathmore High School's New Blood Dance Show
New Blood is a new documentary that chronicles the 10-year journey of the New Blood Dance Show — an Alberta high school theatre production based on the residential school experience of former Siksika Nation Chief Vincent Yellow Old Woman. English rock musician Peter Gabriel signed on as an executive producer of the documentary and even allowed his music to be used in the film for free. Director Adam Solway joins Q's Tom Power from Calgary to tell us how the film is sparking long overdue conversations about the intergenerational impact of the residential school system, and why he hopes the project will serve as a form of healing.
