Bio

Sam Vint has worked in a variety of roles in film and TV including camera operator, researcher and director. Over the years Sam’s research has made him extremely knowledgeable about many of Canada’s Aboriginal issues. Most notable is the NFB docudrama "We Were Children", in which years of his research culminated in this hard-hitting film about the experiences of two children that attended Indian Residential Schools in Canada. More recently Sam researched and coordinated "The Medicine Line", a documentary program about a First Nations cameraman on a mission to discover what it means to be an Indian.
