The film "Our Tomorrows, Today: Wahbung 1971" premiered in 2017. It explores the historic 1971 Wahbung document, a pivotal First Nations response to the 1969 White Paper. Wahbung asserted the right to self-determination, emerging from Manitoba's First Nations' rejection of the controversial policy. The documentary highlights this influential paper's role as a catalyst for self-determination. Its premiere was attended by original contributors, including the Women of Wahbung and Dave Courchene Jr.

David Meslin, a Community Catalyst, explores why more people don't engage in local politics, despite its direct impact on their lives through issues like schools, zoning, and elections.
