These powerful films were made by Gwich’in young people during an inaugural Caribou Summit in Ft McPherson in January, 2023.
The youth spent two days training with Reel Youth facilitators to learn the technical side of documentary film making and then were matched up with an elder at the summit to create a short film about their lived experiences and relationship to the Porcupine Caribou herd, one of the last intact herds in the world.
In our work we strive to embody what we hope to see in the world—a just humanity and community in which people are free to be themselves fully and without fear. A community where no one is exiled or silenced because of gender, gender expression, race, color, ethnic or national origin, religion, sexual/affectional orientation, age, class, physical character or disability. We believe in the power of storytelling to make connections across difference.
