Students at Juniper School will be showcasing a film they’ve made, in a unique way.

Jim Sanders, who’s the Creative Director at Digital Lodge says he’s been teaching students some digital skills over the last 2 years: "We’re basically teaching them every aspect of digital storytelling from video, animation, documentary, and such. This is year 2, so the youth have taken what they’ve learned from year 1 and year 2 and have produced something really awesome. Part of the project with Digital Lodge is at the end of the year we build an actual lodge. It’s kind of like a traditional teaching lodge, we use tamarack trees and then we fill the inside with movie screens".

The project is part of the students involvement in the Educating for Action Pilot Pojrect.

Juniper School teacher, Ryan Barker tells us what the film is about: "Human rights broadly, including aboriginal rights, certainly a component of the film. We have a whole range of elements including footage from their recent trip to Winnipeg. These students were actually partnered with a school in downtown Winnipeg, to not only cycle through downtown but also visit the new Museum for Human Rights. 

The film will be shown today at 6pm and 7pm at Juniper School Grounds, inside the digital lodge.
