But when he returns to visit his family over summer break, his distance from their way of life – and even the Cree language – is painfully apparent. During a disastrous stint living with a white foster family, Buckley meets Johnny (King of the Grizzlies star Johnny Yesno), a caretaker at the school who becomes a bridge to Indigenous history and community. Despite this fleeting connection, Buckley grows increasingly disaffected, and his alienation begins to sow the seeds of personal tragedy.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoosely inspired by the haunting true story of Anishinaabe boy Chanie “Charlie” Wenjack, the sole fiction feature from National Film Board of Canada documentary veteran Martin Defalco is both deeply empathetic and bracingly unsentimental. Featuring a supporting performance by Chief Dan George (Little Big Man) and several songs by celebrated musician-filmmaker Willie Dunn, Cold Journey remains an essential and withering portrait of Canada’s now-infamous residential school system and its devastating impact on First Nations youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message_kit__blocks c-message_kit__blocks--rich_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-qa=\"message-text\" class=\"c-message__message_blocks c-message__message_blocks--rich_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-qa=\"block-kit-renderer\" class=\"p-block_kit_renderer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper--first\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"p-rich_text_block\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;A rock n' road movie about a girl who learns to drive\\n\\nAt loose ends with life in Toronto, Ramona (Highway 61’s Valerie Buhagiar) is abruptly dispatched to the wilds of Northern Ontario by her mercenary record promotor boss (eXistenZ's Gerry Quigley) to retrieve The Children of Paradise, a wayward rock band that has disappeared mid-tour.
