Six Nations Tourism is excited to showcase a special presentation of Movie Monday. On November 21st, the highly-acclaimed documentary “Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band” will be screened at the Gathering Place by the Grand. Special guest Tim Johnson will be on-hand to introduce the film.

Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band is a confessional, cautionary, and occasionally humorous tale of Robbie Robertson’s young life and the creation of one of the most enduring groups in the history of popular music, The Band. The film is a moving story of Robertson’s personal journey, overcoming adversity and finding camaraderie alongside the four other men who would become his brothers in music and who together made their mark on music history. Once Were Brothers blends rare archival footage, photography, iconic songs and interviews with many of Robertson’s friends and collaborators including Martin Scorsese, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Peter Gabriel Taj Mahal, Dominique Robertson, Ronnie Hawkins, and more.

Admission is by donation, and refreshments and popcorn will be provided. Don’t forget to bring your refillable water bottle, or purchase your very own from Six Nations Tourism.

Funny and eye-opening, “Qallunaat! Why White People Are Funny”, is Six Nations Tourism‘s selection for October’s #MovieMonday.

This documentary pokes fun at the ways in which Inuit people have been treated as “exotic” documentary subjects by turning the lens onto the strange behaviours of Qallunaat (the Inuit word for white people). A collaboration between filmmaker Mark Sandiford and Inuit writer and satirist Zebedee Nungak, “Qallunaat!” brings the documentary form to an unexpected place in which oppression, history and comedy collide.

Admission is by donation, and refreshments and popcorn will be provided. Doors open at 6:30PM. Arrive early for best seat!
