In this mystical, spirit-led film, two women, descendants of colonial settlers, enter a ritual, storytelling, embodied trance with giant ancestral puppets, to face the destructive legacy of their ancestors.
Enveloped by the brilliance of earth, sky, sea and forest, they journey towards healing and reconciliation.
Filmed on beautiful Gabriola Island, BC at Drumbeg Park and on the McRae Lands at Gabriola Museum.
This screening is the opening event for Gabriola Island’s Island of the Arts Festival.
