“Wonderful movie that speaks of the trauma that becomes embodied in our bodies. Wonderful pictures from the North. It is a tribute to the MMIW – and how quickly things happen that brings so much sorrow and grief.”

“I don’t know what to say, because I am still in the fire and the words haven’t been forged yet.  This film has moved deep within me.  Beautiful.”

“The film was raw, real, painful, sensual and lovely. The photography was just right, as was the music. It was exciting to see Whitehorse, of course, and breathtaking to see some of that surrounding scenery. More importantly for me, though, the issues around grief, alcohol, sexuality, relationships, regret and self-forgiveness have all been relevant in my life lately, so there was a lot there that connected with me. In short, WOW. What a gift.”
