Susan G. Enberg is an independent documentary film director, producer, editor and photographer who launched her own production company, Susan G. Enberg Productions, in 2017. Her first film, "In Jesus’Name: Shattering the Silence of St. Anne’s Residential School," was co-produced with Edmund Metatawabin during her studies in the Documentary Media graduate program at Ryerson University. This 42-minute film has gone on to win a number of film festival awards. Some footage from the film is also now installed at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights. Susan has been awarded numerous scholarships for high academic achievement and for her social justice activities.
Susan also directed, produced and edited a short and privately held pedagogical documentary that focuses on reconciliation at a primary school in Toronto through incorporation of indigenous arts and cultural sharing by Indigenous artist, Chief Lady Bird. She has just completed a film with a deaf visual artist, Mimi Shulman and a documentary film on the building of a sweat lodge in Atikokan, Ontario. This film has firmly secured a Canadian pedagogical distributor. Susan is the director, a co-producer, photographer and editor on this film.
Susan also served as an interviewer for the docu-series,"Bring Our Children Home". The series documents the testimonies of Indigenous youth in the Treaty 3 region that have been "in care" at group homes and foster homes. It also brings in child and youth advocates Cindy Blackstock, Christi Belcourt, Isaac Murdoch and Irwin Elman (former provincial child and youth advocate).
Two other films that are currently in development are documentaries with female Muaythai warriors, and another with persons who have, or whose family members have been negatively impacted by police that do not adequately or compassionately deal with these persons who suffer from epilepsy.
