A look into the everyday life of a variety of health workers within the Blackfoot community. A community ravaged by addiction and psycological struggles, obtained through decades (centuries) of oppression and brutal assimilation processes.
It portrays warmth and fighting spirit in a seemingly hopless situation, and addresses the need for updated policies and research on the subject of addiction and recovery. It also provides a voice and a face to the many that too often are reduced to a mere statistic, showing the person underneath the vail of addiction.
I could say so much more, but would rather encourage everyone to watch it.
