Description

Exploring reconciliation and connection through a story that spans seven generations, Frozen River (n kwatin's piy) tells the story of two eleven-year-olds through the eyes of Grandmother Moon. Eilidh and W pam are born under the same blood moon, but Eilidh was born in Scotland and W pam in Kihci-Manito k ayapit, now known as Manitoba. After sailing across the ocean in hopes of a more prosperous life, Eilidh meets W pam deep in the forest, and the two become instant friends. Coming from vastly different worlds, Eilidh and W pam decide to teach each other about their ways of life. But when a sacred promise between them is broken, the relationship among cultures becomes jeopardized for generations to come.

Frozen River (n kwatin's piy) shows audiences that an openness to learn from those who have protected and honoured the waterways for centuries can lead to healing and reconciliation.
