Smudge

This short documentary follows three Indigenous women as they practice ancestral forms of worship: drumming, singing, and using sweetgrass. These ancient spiritual traditions may at first seem at odds with urban life, but to Indigenous people in Canada who are used to praying in natural settings, the whole world is sacred space.

Cast: Andrea F. Friedman, John Maclaren, June B. Wilde, Maria Luisa Cianni, Demetri Goritsas
