In this urgent and inspiring chronicle, award-winning filmmaker and actor Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open) turns the camera on her own community of the Kainai First Nation in Alberta to document their fight against the opioid crisis. Since 2014, the epidemic has cost hundreds of lives on this Blackfoot reserve, leaving not a single member of the community untouched by tragedy. The film spotlights both the people behind the addiction and a host of dedicated frontline workers, including the filmmaker's soft-spoken and wise mother Dr. Esther Tailfeathers—one of the few medical doctors working on the reserve. As frontline witnesses to the crisis, they introduce radical new methods of fighting the rising problem of addiction, relying on compassion and empathy in their approach to heal the many wounds caused by a people's protracted experience under colonialism. /Aisha Jamal/
