Online streaming options are also available.
This powerful film, written and directed by Elle–Máijá Tailfeathers, is an intimate portrait of survival, love and the collective work of healing in the Kainai First Nation in Southern Alberta, a Blackfoot community facing the impacts of substance use and a drug-poisoning epidemic.
Kímmapiiyipitssini: The Meaning of Empathy draws a connecting line between the effects of colonial violence on Blackfoot land and people and the ongoing substance-use crisis and invites viewers to be a part of this remarkable change within the community.
