Jun 12, 2019 | 10:28 AM

A documentary that follows the late Colten Boushie’s family on their quest for justice in the legal system will screen at the Capitol Theatre in late June.

Tasha Hubbard’s nipawistamasowin: We Will Stand Up, will play sometime between June 21-27 in North Battleford. Exact dates and times are not yet known.

The film received the Best Canadian Feature Documentary Award at the Hot Docs 2019 festival in Toronto. It won the Colin Low award for Best Canadian Documentary at DOXA 2019 in Vancouver.

Boushie, a 22-year-old from the Red Pheasant Cree Nation, was killed on Gerald Stanley’s farmyard near Biggar in August 2016.

It was a bitterly cold February night when a jury, after deliberating for 13 hours, shuffled into a Queen’s Bench courtroom in Battleford and acquitted Stanley in the shooting death of Boushie. Stanley testified that the gun “just went off.”
