The First Nations Film and Video Festival presents a screening of Dear Alaska, followed by a Q&A with director Moirah Hayes.
Sharks are tuned in to the natural rhythms of the world, sensing emotions, events, and energies from thousands of miles away. They are the messengers of the vast oceans that connect us all. The director’s family are sharks and they carry that medicine with them. But, what happens to a family when a shark is captured for its fins? When a Japanese father is kidnapped and shipped to internment camp after internment camp? All his kids stolen and trapped in boarding schools designed to strip them of their roots? A Tlingit mother left with an empty, broken home?
