Watched it at the Toronto International Film Festival with the director in attendance.

It's a sight to behold if you're not someone who insists on a lot going on in terms of storyline.

The images of nature and glimpses of a more simple way of life tell the story here, and do so wonderfully.

There's also not a lot of dialogue, but if you are a sucker for a beautifully shot, carefully observed, unhurried depiction of living closer in touch with the earth, First Nations style, you will consider it time well spent. I did.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
