We Breathe Again
For centuries, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Native peoples survived the harsh conditions of life in the far north, while their social, cultural, and spiritual practices thrived. In the 1900’s, the battle to claim ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ and its peoples began, setting in motion disruptive changes that led to many painful inter-generational scars. In a landscape as dramatic as its stories, We Breathe Again is a documentary film that intimately explores the lives of four ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Native people, each confronting the impacts of historic and contemporary trauma.
Supported in part by ITVS and Visionmakers Media. Released on America Reframed in September 2017 as part of a National PBS broadcast. America Reframed. Season 5 Episode 12. Produced in part by ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ FRAME Film Productions.
We Breathe Again intimately explores the lives of four ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Natives who are determined to break free from personal histories of trauma and suicide.
