Film Series: Tuesday December 3 – Singing Back the Buffalo – North Island College, Courtenay.
(99 min) 2024 – Filmmaker: Tasha Hubbard
Driven to the point of extinction in the 19th century, the buffalo is proving more resilient than once feared. Tasha Hubbard’s rhapsodic documentary weaves personal reflection, animated tales, interviews with land stewards, observational reportage and gorgeous nature footage. Ultimately, we can see that the long-awaited return of this totem to the North American plains is closely related to the strength of the Indigenous peoples, whose cooperation and coordination has been indispensable in a remarkable ecological revival.
