​Tea Creek & Vital Conversation on Food Security
Friday, November 7 at 7:30pm

Directed by Ryan Dickie | 74 min | Co-Presented with the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen

Join us for a special screening of Tea Creek, an acclaimed new documentary about Indigenous food sovereignty, leadership, and renewal.

Against the backdrop of colonization and the climate crisis, Indigenous food-sovereignty activist Jacob Beaton has transformed his family farm into Tea Creek, a thriving Indigenous-led training centre in Gitxsan territory dedicated to restoring the abundance that once sustained Turtle Island. Filmed through a growing season, Tea Creek offers an intimate portrait of Beaton and his community as they rebuild agricultural knowledge, confront the legacies of colonial policy, and nurture healing through the land.

Visually stunning and deeply hopeful, Tea Creek celebrates the power of Indigenous leadership to create lasting change one seed, one season, and one act of care at a time.

If the ill spirit have so fair a house,
Good things will strive to dwell with't”
