School Statue Showdown
by David Starr
When an Indigenous group demands the local schools name be changed, rifts are formed within the community and the legacies of who we honour from history are challenged.
In a small BC town, a teen’s search for the truth behind his grandfather’s defaced statue leads to an emotional reckoning with Indigenous history, colonialism, and family legacy.
