The world has drastically changed: rivers run dry, rampant bushfires leave little left to burn. Still she persists searching for the stories of her loved ones, maybe even her own. She is not alone--an ancestor watches nearby. This desolate landscape is about to unearth its long-held secrets.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by the grassroots organization Drag the Red, which searches for evidence of missing Indigenous women, girls, and 2 Spirit people in the Red River of Treaty One Territory, this ethereal and engrossing drama is a profound offering to those who persevere in spite of sorrow.
