Canadian Films ~ Falls Around Her

Tantoo Cardinal shines as a world-famous Anishinaabe musician who returns to the reserve to rest and recharge . . . only to discover that fame and the outside world are not easily left behind. Anchored by Cardinal’s captivating performance, Falls Around Her is an empowering story of a woman reclaiming control of her life and land.

The movie moves at a gentle pace for the most part which helps you feel the peace "Mary Birchbark" is trying to attain. The stormier moments make you realize that finding peace is not as easy as you might think.
