Tréchelle Bunn is a 22 year old University of Manitoba hockey player whose life motto is “movement is medicine.” Normally that medicine takes the form of hockey practices and games, but the 200 unmarked graves found at Kamloops Residential School in 2021 pushed Trechelle, who is Dakota, to think of other ways that movement could help heal her home community. She organized Canada’s first-ever Reconciliation Run. We follow the runners and Trechelle on the symbolic 21km run back to the community. The run turns out to be an emotional one for many of the participants, some of whom have their own deeply personal connections to that residential school.
Warrior Up! is a 13 part documentary series that follows inspiring Indigenous youth making positive change in their communities!
