Synopsis
“Kassinu” ingeniously weaves two intergenerational testimonies: that of filmmaker Uapukun Mestokosho McKenzie, who sensorially evokes her origins, and that of Al Harrington, who defies authorities with a hunger strike. Each in their own way appeals to two deeply connected causes: environmental and Indigenous. (RIDM)
