Adam Beach plays "young Einstein"

Adam Beach here to shoot new film until Aug. 21

By Randall KingAdam Beach will be arriving in Winnipeg this week to work on a new film for writer-director Jeremy Torrie, who produced the 2003 telefilm Cowboys and Indians: The J.J. Harper Story in which Beach played Harper.

In Torrie's film Path of Souls, Beach plays a "young Einstein" who communicates from beyond the grave with his wife, compelling her on a cross-continent journey to some of the spiritual centres of First Nations people.

"Its a really good script, (examining) Anishnabe teaching and how it fares with scientific teaching," says Beach who will also be credited as an executive producer. "The Anishnabe had a name for the Milky Way before people were looking through telescopes. (This film will) let people know that we have our oral history and teachings that mean something to us."Comment:  For more on Adam Beach, see Adam Beach as Harrison Ford's Son and Adam Beach on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
