Program Description

Event Details

"The Berry Pickers," by Amanda Peters, tells the story of a Mi'kmaq family from Nova Scotia who travels to Maine in 1962 to pick blueberries. Their youngest child, four-year-old Ruthie, mysteriously disappears, leaving her older brother, Joe, deeply traumatized. Meanwhile, a young girl named Norma, growing up in Maine with affluent and overprotective parents, is haunted by recurring dreams and visions. As the story unfolds, the two intertwined narratives reveal a family secret and the devastating impact of trauma and grief.
