Indian Horse

Richard Wagamese’s award-winning novel comes to life in this film and tells the story of Saul Indian Horse, who at the young age of eight, was taken from his family and placed in a Catholic residential school. To cope with the trauma by escaping his reality living in the residential school, Saul masters his hockey-playing skills and eventually becomes a professional in the field. However, his unresolved trauma surfaces, threatening his promising career and forcing him to confront what happened to him.
