With lush cinematography and evocative storytelling, Anishinaabe journalist Tanya Talaga embarks on a deeply personal search to discover what happened to her great-great-grandmother in The Knowing.
Co-directors Talaga and Kanien’kehá:ka filmmaker Courtney Montour (Mary Two-Axe Earley: I Am Indian Again) use archival footage and intimate interviews to piece together the unknown story of Talaga’s family member, Annie Carpenter. In the first two parts of the four-episode docuseries, they skillfully illustrate how hard it is for Indigenous families to get answers from authorities, especially about those who have entered the residential school or Indian hospital systems.
Armed with a collection of historical documents, Talaga meets previously unknown relatives, discovers her new homelands, and deepens her knowledge about her family’s history. Journeying from the fly-in Northern Ontario community of Peetabeck (Fort Albany First Nation) to Toronto and beyond, The Knowing weaves together residential school history, the Canada-wide recognition of unmarked graves — beginning with Kamloops — and the personal history of Talaga’s family.
Q&A following the screening. Journalist Tanya Talaga embarks on an eight-decade search for her matriarch Annie Carpenter, uncovering a story deeply connected to Canada’s residential school system.

Joey Clift is a Los Angeles-based comedian, TV writer, director, Emmy-nominated producer, and enrolled member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. Joey attended college to become a local TV weather person because as a kid he didn’t see any Native American comedians on television, and that made him believe he wasn’t allowed to work in comedy. Since then he has learned that this is not true – and his comedy style reflects that. Joey’s work has been featured in The Washington Post, CNN, Pitchfork, NPR, Dead Meat, and Comedy Central.
As a television writer Joey has written for shows such as the 7x Emmy-nominated Spirit Rangers on Netflix, Molly of Denali and Alma’s Way on PBS, New Looney Tunes and Lego Ninjago: Decoded on Cartoon Network, and Paw Patrol on Nickelodeon. Joey Clift created, directed, and wrote Gone Native, a Webby Award-winning Comedy Central Digital series featuring many of today’s top Native American comedians, and his short films have screened everywhere from Just For Laughs to the Smithsonian Museum.
Joey is also the creator of the LA Underground Cat Network, a 40,000-member strong online community for Los Angeles comedians to share cute pictures of their cats. He’s kind of a cat guy.
