Description

Terry's award-winning, short-form stories have been featured globally and showcase the often conflicting identity of Indigenous life in a modern world. By connecting personal experiences and snapshots of individual lives with historical, and often unsettling reflections, Terry encapsulates the complexity of being an Indigenous storyteller. "Editing to the soundscape of shaking Iroquois white corn and tapping, Seneca filmmaker Terry Jones uses personal and historic still images to link his family and the American Indian Boarding School experience." "In this strikingly poetic documentary about memory, loss, and brotherly love, we find Jimmy, guided by the memory and words of his grandfather, preparing a soup for his beloved brother Danny, who passed away one year ago."
