FTM and Manitoba Film and Music (MFM) recently supported two free screenings of the Stand! Movie at the historic Burton Cummings Theatre which took place on May 28 and 29, 2022.

“FTM is very honoured to recognize this important Manitoba film and the excellent work of everyone involved with creating this unique and landmark film. The level of authenticity in Stand! is truly remarkable and major accomplishment for our Province,” said FTM’s Adam Smoluk.
