Stories Are in Our Bones (2020)
In this layered short film, filmmaker Janine Windolph takes her young sons fishing with their kokum (grandmother), a residential school survivor who retains a deep knowledge and memory of the land. The act of reconnecting with their homeland is a cultural and familial healing journey for the boys, who are growing up in the city. It’s also a powerful form of resistance for the women.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
