An idyllic childhood with her mooshum and kookum (grandparents), in her community of Peguis First Nation dissipates as Aberdeen’s hard-partying and absentee parents distance her from that safe space. Now an adult, sleeping on public benches, the Winnipeg-based woman is in survival mode as the last remaining stable parts of her life begin slipping away.

This screening of Aberdeen is free and open to the public.

This film was selected by our film programming team from the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
