IN HONOR OF MISSING AND MURDERED INDigenous women

                43 minutes, 2023 

The filmmaker travels to Manitoba, Canada, to document a Sundance of Women in honor of the many indigenous women who have been missing or murdered in Canada and in the United States. A Sundance is a sacred ceremony of First Peoples across Turtle Island, and this particular Sundance was guided by the vision of an indigenous Grandmother, and a Grandfather who supported her. It was organized on the belief that the acts of violence against women are the result of them having been disrespected and devalued, and that women need to reclaim their power. Through action sequences of the activities in preparation for the Sundance ceremony and testimonies of some of the participants, the film reveals what could be a model of an alternative community, where both women and men support each other in their different roles.
