Endless Sunlight

Endless Sunlight — Plot

Centered around an audio recording of a conversation between kokum Penny Roan and Jennifer Houseman (Tyson's grandmother and mother), kokum Penny tells a story about her kokum's experience at a residential school in Southern Alberta, sharing that her uncle burned down the school when he was seven years old. Six generations of matriarchal lineage are weaved across time through images of a young woman, Osa Roan, Penny Roan's granddaughter, harvesting birch bark at a camp in the summer.
