Desc: Gently Whispering the Circle Back: Directed by Beth Wishart Mackenzie. Gently Whispering the Circle Back explores the journey of healing in a people wounded by the Canadian Indian Residential School system. We become part of a 'healing circle' as Survivors and the Children of Survivors share their stories with us and speak of their recovery of tradition, language, ceremony, and personal dignity. Gently Whispering the Circle Back is a celebration of Indigenous spirituality and practice and its power to transform the lives of individuals and communities.
