KONELĪNE: Our Land Beautiful
The Nettie Wild Collection • 1h 36m
Directed by Nettie Wild ∙ 2016 ∙ Canada ∙ 96'
More than 1,000 miles by road from Vancouver, British Columbia, or 130 miles east of Juneau, Alaska by air, the traditional lands of the Tahltan First Nation encompass the majestic Stikine River, ancient glaciers, tiny communities and magnificent vistas. Not a Western, but a Northern, Nettie Wild’s astonishing non-fiction film KONELĪNE: OUR LAND BEAUTIFUL transports us to the wilderness, not as backdrop but as a vivid elemental force that dominates the experience of both the Indigenous peoples and the settlers who carve out their lives there.
