An inspiring journey from page to stage.
Anticipating a visit by King George VI, an English teacher at a church-run residential school in Northern Ontario enlists her students in a production of All's Well That Ends Well. But her rigid ideas of how Shakespeare should be performed are challenged as her Indigenous students find parallels between themselves and the characters in the play. Far from letting themselves be defined by colonial expectations, the students set out to make Shakespeare's bittersweet comedy defiantly their own.

Streaming until March 12, 2028.
