The Grandfather Drum -- Film Description:
"Beautifully crafted animation combines with masterful storytelling in Anishinaabe filmmaker Michelle Derosier's film about a magic drum. For the Anishinabek, the drum is a revered object that brings healing. With this particular drum now part of a museum collection, The Grandfather Drum is a timely film about the dispossession of Indigenous ceremonial artifacts."
