On June 6th at 1:00 p.m., @Luminato presents the Cannes World Film Festival-winning âWalking Through The Fire-Visual Albumâ at the Harbourfront Studio Theatre. A musical film experience unlike any other from 6x CFMA winners Sultans of String, this event will also feature
A central theme running through Walking Through The Fire: Visual Album is the need for the truth of Indigenous experience to be told before reconciliation can begin in earnest.
Sultans of String created this film in the spirit of the Truth and Reconciliation Commissionâs 94 Calls to Action and Final Report, which ask Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to work together as an opportunity to show a path forward. #WalkingThroughTheFire
