"Two Roads" is Projectland's debut film. We took on this project because we care about issues that affect aboriginal Canadians, because of the opportunity to work with stunning visuals and audio and a compelling and important topic, and because close friends in the Anishinaabe community asked us to.
Our goal was to enable anyone who viewed this film to be inspired by the strength and beauty of the Anishinaabe culture. Cloud Moving Away, the voice behind this film is driven to encourage all Anishinaabe people to find strength and identity in the traditional culture, and that is why we made this film.

Cloud Moving Away tells us his story
It's a story that goes back centuries
And continues today
It started with contact
Screen-grab from the film "Two Roads"
Then genocide and residential schools
Screen-grab from the film "Two Roads"
But it doesn't end there
Today, the Anishinaabe are strong
They haven't forgotten the old ways
They continue today
Walking Two Roads, the old road and the new
Screen-grab from the film "Two Roads". The impact of colonization continues today, life is not easy for many as a result. For some, rediscovering the traditional ways is one part of the continued healing process, as is your realization that colonization continues in the present day, and is not a historical event.
