Document Summary

Religion shapes the way we see the world. Colonialism has had a tremendous impact around the world and it"s still the same filter we use today, such as what"s going on in quebec with the religious artifacts. Everyone has different assumptions about religion and the film is about lack of understanding what religion really is all about. The last residential school was in 1996-1998 in canada where people were forced to change. Faith: belief in two kinds: faith of the head is what allows people from different religions to have dialogue, people discussing even from the same religion, intelligent and interesting dialogue. Faith of the heart: is something you cannot explain, it moves beyond the intellect such as belief or emotion and in different societies believe in different parts of the body such as heart, stomach etc. Faith of the heart would apply because you heart makes you feel right!
