“Growing up in Siksika, masculinity was all around me but was unclear. Now, using my lens, I seek to find clarity.” Grounded on the land that has provided for his ancestors since time immemorial, filmmaker Sinakson Trevor Solway, addresses the past by looking forward with generations of Blackfoot men who are rebuilding culture and community in their work and recreation. Each of them has a unique journey and story to share about the challenges they face. Important introspective questions frame thoughtful observations about what modern masculinity does and doesn’t look like, especially for those who have been stigmatized and misunderstood. Roping cattle, singing, playing hockey and participating in Ceremony all play distinct yet important roles in how these men support each other. Artists, athletes, ranchers and many others share vulnerable and authentic reflections on their lives that culminate in an exceptional vérité portrait of kinship and resilience for these Siksika sons, fathers, husbands and brothers. Alexander Rogalski.
