Question & Answer session after festival screening with filmmakers from the March 2025 ENVIRONMENTAL Festival at the Carlton Cinemas, in downtown Toronto, Canada.
RECKONING WITH THE WENDIG film.
55min., Canada
Directed by Danielle Da Silva
Featuring Edmund Metatawabin—a residential school survivor who was the Chief of Fort Albany and recently received the Order of Canada—this timely feature documentary takes us to the birthplace of Canada’s fur trade to explore the ironic and deadly problem of food insecurity that exists there today. The chaotic times we are experiencing now have been prophecied by many Indigenous communities; one legend in particular forewarns us about the dangers of consumption and greed. This suspenseful/heartwrenching, yet intimate/heartwarming documentary offers a glimpse into the lives of Moose Cree people living in Canada’s North, exploring the allegory of the Wendigo and consumption.
