DOLLARS THAT MAKE SENSE 3min. USA

RECKONING WITH THE WENDIGO 55min. Canada

Directed by Danielle Da Silva

Featuring Edmund Metatawabin—a residential school survivor who was the Chief of Fort Albany and recently received the Order of Canada—this timely feature documentary takes us to the birthplace of Canada’s fur trade to explore the ironic and deadly problem of food insecurity that exists there today. The chaotic times we are experiencing now have been prophecied by many Indigenous communities; one legend in particular forewarns us about the dangers of consumption and greed. This suspenseful/heartwrenching yet intimate/heartwarming documentary offers a glimpse into the lives of Moose Cree people living in Canada’s North exploring the allegory of the Wendigo and consumption.
