Mujer Maiz / Sisters & Brothers

The story is about Xilonen (chee-lo-nen) a shy teenage girl who overcomes her fears of dance when her grandfathers' spirit leads her into an enchanted cornfield labyrinth. Sisters & Brothers - In a pounding critique of Canada's colonial history, this short film draws parallels between the annihilation of the bison in the 1890s and the devastation inflicted on the Indigenous population by the residential school system.
