Singing Back the Buffalo

Directed by Tasha Hubbard
Canada, 2024 (documentary, 98 minutes, colour, English)

Film Description:
"From the opening shot of a buffalo hide illustrating the texture and movement of the hair, the beauty of the buffalo's exterior welcomes us into this stunning documentary about personal connection fueling a desire to return the animal back to their ancestral homelands. In addition to providing the historical background on the hows and whys buffalo populations were decimated, the film also follows the present-day quest to right the relationship between humans, buffalo, and the land. Filmed on many tribal lands across Turtle Island, filmmaker Tasha Hubbard, founding director of the International Buffalo Relations Institute, tracks the efforts of buffalo activists to return free-ranging buffalo back to their lands."
