Tourné « à hauteur d’enfant » et proposant une vision novatrice de la jeunesse autochtone, ce puissant documentaire est marqué par l’absence totale de la parole des adultes et des « experts de la jeunesse ». Il laisse ainsi toute la place à la nouvelle génération, et à son désir ardent d’être entendue.
Filmed from “a child’s eye-view” and presenting a groundbreaking vision of contemporary Indigenous youth, this documentary is notable for the complete absence of adult voices and “experts on young people”—holding space instead for a new generation with a burning desire to be heard.
2024. 93 minutes. Version originale française, anglaise, innu-aimun et atikamekw, sous-titres anglais / Original French, English, Innu Aimun and Attikamekw version, English subtitles. Réalisatrice / Director: Kim O'Bomsawin
L'Office national du film du Canada / National Film Board of Canada
