The film Elders' Room developed out of an educational initiative at the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary. Students received a scholarship to undertake an initiative at their high school. The Kainai High School students with their teachers and guidance counsellors reached out to elders and to gether they planned and realized Elders' Room. When Shirley Steinberg, the director, learned about the initiative, she reached out to documentary filmmaker Michael B MacDonald and together they worked with Kainai students, teachers, guidance counsellors, and elders to realize the film, Elders' Room.
