This documentary examines the hard truths of racism around the deaths of seven high school students in the northern city of Thunder Bay from 2000–2011. Spirit to Soar is a closer look at what has happened in the wake of the inquest into the students’ deaths, and how families and communities have struggled to carry on while pursuing justice for their loved ones and equity for First Nations People. At its heart, this film is a story of the strength and bravery First Nations youth face every single day when they walk out the front door and head to high school in a country that has tried to erase them.
