Today's Indigenous media scene is becoming increasingly occupied by empowered, seriously rockin' women like Kim Wheeler.

For more than two decades, she's pushed and resisted to make it possible for our stories - particularly the positive ones - to be told and shared on a national level. As a young woman, Kim didn't have access to her culture; but as soon as she found it, she grabbed it and ran. Catch her if you can!

Madison Thomas is a Métis filmmaker from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her first film "Worlds on Fire" was selected for the 2009 Winnipeg Aboriginal Film Festival and was nominated for "Best Youth Talent." Madison has studied filmmaking at the University of Winnipeg receiving her Bachelor of Arts in 2012. Madison has partnered with Canadian Cinematographer Andrew Luczenczyn and together they work under the company "Prairie Kid Productions" .
