Red Path

Thérèse Ottawa
2015 | 15 min
This short documentary tells the story of Tony Chachai, a young Indigenous man in search of his identity. Moved by the desire to reconnect with his Atikamekw roots, he delivers a touching testimony on the journey that brought him closer to his family and community. On the verge of becoming a father himself, he becomes increasingly aware of the richness of his heritage and celebrates it by dancing in a powwow.

This film was produced as part of Tremplin NIKANIK, a competition for francophone First Nations filmmakers in Quebec.
