Description
"Two young urban dwellers, one a Blackfoot aborigional named Cowboy and the other a Chinese-Canadian newcomer named Chris, embark on a journey across traditional Blackfoot territory. They traverse thousands of years of ancient history mediated by the wisdom of modern day elders. In the process, they begin the long road to reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous people. "Elder in the Making" is a feature documentary inviting all residents of North America to explore the tragic and hopeful history of their home. Through the journey of two unlikely travel companions, this film uncovers our responsibility as stewards of the land and people yet to come."
