“Kintohpatatin(Justice)-Chéng誠(Honesty)” is a collaborative short film borne out of friendship, respect, understanding and trust. Through juxtaposing stunning natural and experimental split-screen visuals, auto-biographical haikus and reflections on Indigenous natural law, we explore principles of honesty and justice amidst the realities that impact our lives as Indigenous and migrant peoples on Turtle Island. We invite viewers to examine their stance on past, current and future Indigenous-settler relationality. Drumming by Andrea Baedak, original composition by Stephen Laing.
