Watch this tonight if you want something genuinely original and deeply rooted in Indigenous sovereignty and storytelling—it's a poetic, urgent documentary that treats a land claim and ecological loss as spiritual matters. Skip it if you need conventional narrative structure or prefer lighter viewing, but you'd be missing something rare.

Plot

When the Nuxalk trace their vanished ooligan alongside a land claim filed the day smallpox arrived, their radio station becomes courtroom, confessional and conjuring ground, where an older law insists: the fish and the people return together or not at all.

Director: Banchi Hanuse

Cast: Megan F. Moody, Qwaxw Siwallace, Snuxyaltwa Deric Snow, Nuskmata Jacinda Mack, Q’umulha Rhonda Schooner
