Tanya Talaga’s Spirit To Soar and and Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers’s Kímmapiiyipitssini: The Meaning Of Empathy -- both premiering at Hot Docs this Thursday -- tell very personal stories about the systemic neglect and trauma of Indigenous communities in Canada. NOW culture editor Radheyan Simonpillai brings the two filmmakers together to discuss their films’ thematic and emotional connections.
