On Monday, March 11, 2024, the IFRC co-presented the Montréal premiere of Returning Home alongside Cinema Politica and Projet Mikana.  

Returning Home follows Phyllis Jack-Webstad, a residential school survivor whose experiences inspired the Orange Shirt Day movement on a nationwide educational tour, while her family struggles to heal multigenerational wounds at home in Secwépemc territory. Amid a global pandemic and the lowest salmon run in Canadian history, the film also explores the absence of salmon along the upper Fraser River, and how a multi-year fishing moratorium is tearing at the fabric of Secwépemc communities. 
 
After the screening, there was a discussion with the director, Sean Stiller.
