Eclectically stylized and set in Haida Gwaii, Haida poet & videographer Towustasin creates an experimental documentary short that incorporates animation, spoken word, intimate interviews and poetic narratives. Shedding light on histories of economic, cultural, and environmental depression, the film weaves together a story of trauma with hope, healing, and the unbreakable bond between the Haida people and their ancestral land.
