Director Tasha Hubbard and guests will be in attendance at the September 27 screening.
Inspired by her own acclaimed documentary BIRTH OF A FAMILY (CIFF 2017), Tasha Hubbard’s (NÎPAWISTAMÂSOWIN: WE WILL STAND UP, CIFF 2019; SINGING BACK THE BUFFALO, CIFF 2024) narrative directorial debut tells the story of four Cree siblings, separated since childhood and now in their fifties, who agree to meet for the first time over a holiday weekend in Banff.
Without the usual markers of familiarity, or a shared sense of cultural belonging, Anthony (Michael Greyeyes, THE ABANDONS; 40 ACRES, CIFF 2024), Connie (Carmen Moore), Marianne (Alex Rice) and Gwen (Michelle Thrush, DO US PART, CIFF 2025) discover unexpected moments of joyous synchronicity, conflict, and connection. With further guidance from the warmth of a newly discovered community, a fledgling family is invited to heal. Excited and curious, but also scared and afraid of rejection, the siblings must contend with where they have been and who they will become.
