    Hi there
    I am trying to find a way to communicate with Tomy. I can’t seem to find him on facebook. Can you please forward this email to him.
    I am having a fundraiser for a documentary that I am making at Revival on Mon. Oct. 3rd and I love his poetry. I wanted to ask if you/he would be interested in performing alongside a couple other spoken word artists and some musicians.
    The story of the doc is below. It’s a really important story and I need to raise money to continue shooting.
    If you could please get back to me that would be great!

    Hope you are well!
    Jennifer

    ….and a brief description of the film:
    “This film is the story of GlennaMae who as a nine year old child in 1955, witnessed a horrific crime, the murder of three male Native teenagers by her own life long abuser, her father. After two unsuccessful attempts to have the police investigate this crime and to inform the families of the victims, she has decided to go on a personal quest to find the family of one of the victims. Her ultimate wish is to honour his life by having his remains buried on his reserve. This powerful and compelling story is one example of a much larger story of missing Native people, whether from residential schools or from everyday life, whose cases remain uninvestigated”.
