The film

A destination film for Indigenous Tourism BC and Haida House at Tllaal, centred on Haida Gwaii as a living place rather than a generic resort backdrop.

The approach

Expansive landscape imagery, community testimony and intimate observational moments create a respectful sense of place while letting Haida House, Haida Gwaii and the people in the film lead the story.
