After a dark recent history, the buffalo herds of North America are awaiting their return, aided by dedicated Indigenous activists, leaders, and communities.  Together with Blackfoot Elder Leroy Little Bear, Cree filmmaker Tasha Hubbard weaves an intimate story of humanity’s connections to buffalo and eloquently reveals how their return to the Great Plains can indeed usher in a new era of sustainability and balance.In an epic reimaging of North America through the lens of buffalo consciousness, this richly visualized and deeply uplifting doc offers a potent dream of what is within our grasp. In a time of immense environmental degradation and global uncertainty, the buffalo can lead us to a better tomorrow.
