Walker

Walker is a young Indigenous boy in the foster care system whose only playmate is his dog. Jamie is a lonely young white boy who is afraid of dogs, and has some strange ideas about Indigenous Peoples. Walker ignores the racist jeering and taunting of the bigger boys and reaches out to Jamie. Together, they find friendship and understanding. Walker challenges racist attitudes toward First Nations, and shows how children from different backgrounds can form friendships. This film is part of the Playing Fair series.
