The film tells a historical Canadian story about 21 teenage boys and a fight for survival
Principal photography has begun for the feature film Brotherhood on the Michipicoten First Nation Reserve. Written and directed by Richard Bell (Eighteen), the cast includes Brendan Fehr as Robert Butcher, Brendan Fletcher as Arthur Lambden and Jake Manley as George Waller. Based on a true Canadian story, this is the first time a feature has been permitted to film on the sacred First Nations land near Wawa, Ontario.
“Brotherhood tells an essential tale not only because of its history, but because of the story of bravery, sacrifice and selflessness it reveals,” says Richard Bell, director. “It is an honour to bring a part of Canada’s rich past to the big screen.”
