Ceremony

2026 · 84 min

A patient, heartfelt documentary that bears witness to grief and resilience, blending ceremony and radio into a quiet act of defiance.

Overview: When the Nuxalk trace their vanished ooligan alongside a land claim filed the day smallpox arrived, their radio station becomes courtroom, confessional and conjuring ground, where an older law insists: the fish and the people return together or not at all.
How it feels: Earnest, melancholic, uplifting and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Colonialism, environment, survival, identity
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
