Towustasin Stocker

Filmed on the island of Haida Gwaii, this documentary depicts the ongoing resistance and resurgence of the Haida people and their culture against the different manifestations and trauma of colonization.

Eclectically stylized and set in Haida Gwaii, Haida poet & videographer Towustasin creates an experimental documentary short that incorporates animation, spoken word, intimate interviews and poetic narratives. Shedding light on histories of economic, cultural, and environmental depression, the film weaves together a story of trauma with hope, healing, and the unbreakable bond between the Haida people and their ancestral land.
