About the Film:

When the ooligan vanishes from Bella Coola, its absence remains like a scar, pointing to a history that reaches far beyond the river. From a remote radio station on the edge of the world, Nuxalk voices rise through crackling airwaves to trace a truth no one was meant to uncover. What begins as a local broadcast becomes an awakening, confronting the systems built to erase them. Testimony, watercolour animation and rare archival weave a story of survival, return and the quiet revolution of an Indigenous Nation that refuses to disappear.

This isn't just a premiere. It's CEREMONY.
