Description

Director Tasha Hubbard in attendance for a Q&A post screening!

In a time of environmental degradation, the buffalo can lead us to a better tomorrow.

After a dark recent history, the buffalo herds of North America are awaiting their return, aided by dedicated Indigenous activists, leaders and communities, including award-winning Cree filmmaker Tasha Hubbard (nîpawistamâsowin: We Will Stand Up).

Together with Blackfoot Elder Leroy Little Bear, Hubbard weaves an intimate story of humanity’s connections to buffalo and eloquently reveals how their return to the Great Plains can indeed usher in a new era of sustainability and balance. On her journey, she explores the challenges faced by buffalo allies and shares the positive steps already taken towards the ultimate – but uncertain – goal of buffalo rematriation.

This deeply uplifting film is an epic reimagining of North America through the lens of buffalo consciousness and a potent dream of what is within our grasp.
