Description:

Sedna, Empress of the Sea was inspired by a story that Indigenous writer/director/producer Jerry Thevenet's grandmother told him as a young boy. The film reimagines one of the most compelling Indigenous legends of all time, weaving it into a modern tale loosely inspired by the original. A courageous young Inuit girl, Sedna, is kidnapped by an evil raven and held captive on a treacherous island. Escaping by kayak, she falls into the frigid arctic waters whereupon she magically transforms into a mermaid-like goddess (Empress of the Sea). The beautifully animated feature is a light-hearted, action-adventure musical that uses comedy, metaphors and allegory to introduce children to the concept of residential schools and their impact on Indigenous people. <1h 25mn>
