Description
First Stories: Volume III features the films Walking Alone, Two Spirited, His Guidance, and Hooked Up: NDNs Online by emerging filmmakers Gerald Auger, Sharon A. Desjarlais, Duane Linklater, and Jennifer Dysart.
Walking Alone
This short film is an edgy, searing portrait of an ex-gang member trying to make peace with his past. Rapper Shawn Bernard raps about the various struggles in his life, the choices he's made and their consequences, while poignantly recounting the loss of his sister.
Two Spirited
This short documentary presents the empowering story of Rodney "Geeyo" Poucette's struggle against prejudice in the Indigenous community as a two-spirited person (gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender).
His Guidance (Okiskinotahewewin)
This short film tells the story of Rocky Morin, a drummer who first felt the pull of the drum almost 15 years ago and hasn't looked back since. It's a powerful reminder of the need to maintain a strong connection to one's roots.
Hooked Up: NDNs Online
This short film offers a fresh, inventive look at the Internet and asks us to consider this question: does the Web provide Indigenous people with a sense of community? Single mother Michelle plunges into the often-humorous world of online dating.
