Valerie Zink is a documentarian and community organizer interested in land, kinship, and colonial inheritance in the Canadian prairies. She is currently working on a transmedia documentary with the National Film Board about farmers’ relationship to property ownership and land restitution, and plugging away at a long-term project exploring the evolution of her family’s dairy farm into an underground hamlet. She grew up in the foothills of Alberta and currently lives in Regina, Saskatchewan, where she wrangles a one- and two-year-old.
Educator Kamal Badhey and her adult and teen students, William Page, A’ssia Rai, and Valerie Zink reflect on their journey of investigating their family archives.
