U of A researcher and filmmaker chronicles Boushie family quest for legal reform – Folio
Award-winning documentary follows family’s tireless efforts to turn grief into advocacy for changes in how Canada’s justice system treats Indigenous people.
When Gerald Stanley was found innocent in the shooting death of Colten Boushie in 2019, Tasha Hubbard’s cameras were already rolling.
Hubbard, a filmmaker and Indigenous studies professor in the Faculty of Native Studies, had been filming with Boushie’s family since 2016. She wanted to document their experience as they sought justice for their loved one through the provincial legal system, and hoped to provide historical and personal context on Indigenous life in the Prairies—including for her own family, in particular her son and nephew.
But when the not-guilty verdict came down, everything changed.
