Red Diva Projects Presents:

The Road Forward

Inspired by the lives of our Aboriginal mother and fathers captured by street photographer Foncie Pulice on the downtown streets of Vancouver, The Road Forward galvanizes the political and social movement of BC’ s Aboriginal history and the rights fought by Aboriginal leaders that forged a movement where no will be left behind.

In a life-sized Aboriginal snow globe filled with images and voices raised in song, this nine-minute theatrical and filmic experience connects that tumultuous past with the rising vision of The Road Forward.
