Description:

A unique combination of live action and animation, this drama is inpsired by the true story of the Tutchone people of the Yukon struggling to survive a year with no summer because of an early 1800s volcanic eruption in Indonesia. The story segues into a myth about the creation of the animals and how they make a journey to join Winter World to Summer World. This is the first time that these important Tutchone stories have been told through the use of animation. Dream sequences are displayed using flash animation and actors were filmed against a bluescreen and then placed into multi-layered paintings inspired by the watercolours of Yukon artist Lillian Loponen. The final result is an epic tale of perseverance and a reminder that relationships between the earth, animals and people used to be a part of everyday life. <23mn>
