Thank you to DOXA Documentary Film Festival in Vancouver, Trento Film Festival in Trento Italy and FIFEQ Film Festival in Montreal for our recent screenings and for all of the wonderful support in getting the Tsay Keh Dene Nation’s story out to so many people.
I would also like to add a special thanks to DOXA for the Honourable Mention for the Colin Low Award for Best Canadian Director. It was a pleasure being at the festival and being nominated and having the film recognized amongst so many great films.
The jury also gave an honourable mention to Luke Gleeson’s DƏNE YI'INJETL - The Scattering of Man, for “his ambition [to tell] a story of such great scope and importance, and for giving voice to those directly impacted by the W.A.C. Bennett Dam on Tsay Keh Dene territory.”
