The Body Remembers When The World Broke Open
Directors Kathleen Hepburn and Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers
Two Indigenous women from vastly different backgrounds find their worlds colliding on an East Vancouver sidewalk when domestic violence forces one of them, a pregnant teen named Rosie (Violet Nelson), to flee her home.
Àila (Tailfeathers) swiftly offers her shelter, and as their intimate yet challenging encounter develops, the women weave a fragile bond, and must face their own unique struggles with the complexities of motherhood, class, and colonialism.
Starring: Violet Nelson (Kwakwakaʼwakw), Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (Blackfoot/Sámi) | Eng. | 105m | PG
