Description
"Set on the Tsilhqot'in plateau in the 1970s, Clouds of Autumn focuses on a young Indigenous boy named William and his older sister Shayl whose carefree childhoods are torn apart when Shayl is forced to attend a residential school. Singular visual interpretations infuse co-director Trevor Mack's family history with a slowly shifting tone that evokes loss and love. The film explores the impact residential schools had on the relationships of First Nations children with themselves, their heritage, and nature itself." -- McIntyre Media
