Known for her intimate and riveting films, director Kim O’Bomsawin now invites us to experience the vibrant universe of Ninan Auassat: We the Children—an immersive documentary celebrating the power and vitality of Indigenous youth.  
Shot over more than six years, the film brings us the moving stories of three groups of children from three different Indigenous nations: Atikamekw, Eeyou Cree and Innu. 

In hearing their heartfelt, raw stories and the ways they understand their history and experiences, we are plunged into the world of their dreams, learning about the issues that concern them and their hopes for the future. We follow these young people through the crucial milestones of childhood, right to the threshold of adulthood, witnessing their daily lives and aspirations, along with the challenges they face. 

Ninan Auassat: We the Children transcends cultural barriers, presenting a groundbreaking vision of contemporary Indigenous youth—one that highlights their courage and sincerity. Filmed sensitively and from “a child’s eye-view,” this documentary offers a deeply human perspective that encourages listening and mutual understanding. 

The result is gripping and powerful. In the complete absence of adult commentary and “experts on young people,” the film holds space for the new generation. Ninan Auassat: We the Children is a bold cinematic statement that reveals a burning desire to be heard. As the young people’s voices echo, demanding the right to be recognized and an opportunity to blossom, their journey becomes a call to action.
