Featuring intimate Wolastoqey language performances, archival voices, and dreamlike visuals, the film traces Jeremy’s liberation from smoke-bound silence to fiery, unbound song. A phonograph spins history forward across surreal and hyper-real landscapes, culminating in a cosmic vision of continuity.
