challenging emotional informative sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

5.0

a deeply moving and beautiful exploration of the horrific outcomes, both at the community and individual level, of colonization, of the dehumanization, the abuse, the violence that Indigenous people have and continue to experience, of the power of revitalization, uncovering and bringing back one of the languages taken away from Indigenous people by white people, of recovering what was stolen [land, peace, seeds], of the cultural knowledge and community history that lives and breathes through language

“this country is made of impossible distances, places you can only reach by time travel. by speaking our language, by singing the mountains into existence.”
