This tender, nonlinear documentary follows Inuit women moving through three hundred years of Danish colonialism, including a medical program that inserted contraceptive devices into girls as young as thirteen without their consent.
Their bodies became a site of colonial administration. Yet the film journeys into ceremony, into the shaman’s call home, the heartbeat of the drum, the needle-drawn return of ancestral markings erased by missionaries. Sila holds grief and remembering in the same breath, a remembering that travels through the long line of mothers, all the way back to the first conscious human being. Still there. Still listening.
