Pour toi Flora, a six-part miniseries produced by Jason Brennan (Featuring Aboriginal Stories Program), was greenlit by Radio-Canada and will be their first project written, directed and produced by Indigenous creators.
Pour toi Flora examines the bitter legacy of residential schools in Quebec. The series is story driven and based on the true events of two Anishinabeg who are trying to come to terms with their painful past in the residential school system. Writer and director Sonia Bonspille Boileau is also signed onto the project.
The miniseries begins filming this fall in Algonquin territory with the support of the Kitigan-Zibi Indigenous community. It is set to premiere on APTN, as well as streaming service ICI.TOU.TV EXTRA in 2022 and will be presented in French and Anishinaabemowin.
