Seamlessly, moving between Earth and stars, past and present, "Wilfred Buck" is a hybrid feature documentary that looks to one man's life to tell a story that spans generations. Our guide is the charismatic and irreverent, Wilfred Buck, a Cree elder and ceremonial leader who came to his calling through a harrowing history of displacement, racism, and addiction in 1960s Canada. Adapted from his memoir, and blending verité, archive and stylized re-enactments, the film charts colonization's attempts to extinguish Indigenous ways of knowing – and what it means to reconnect with and regain ancient teachings that are as relevant today as ever.
