Tasha Hubbard / 2025 / English & French / Canada / 91 min

Canadian filmmaker Tasha Hubbard makes her narrative film debut with an intimate family drama about the damaging legacy of the Sixties Scoop. Based on her documentary Birth of a Family, the film focuses on four siblings (Michael Greyeyes, Michelle Thrush, Carmen Moore, and Alex Rice) as they reunite over a weekend in Banff. Through serious conversations around unburied secrets and emotionally resonant experiences, each are given time and space to reconnect and build something tenuous and beautiful out of their traumatic past.
The film, along with Hubbard’s screenplay (co-written with Emil Sher) expertly positions the stunning beauty of The Rockies alongside a quiet regeneration of hope and a deeper understanding of the important work still to be done in the area of reflection and reconciliation with Canada’s Indigenous communities

Complexities of Care. Care is often messy, and, like Love, both good and harm are done in its name. Our experiences as care givers and care recipients are intimately connected to our social location. Who can consent? Whose care is compensated? How is it valued? What type of care is offered? Is it sustainable? The various levels of care and its disparities are linked to gender, race, ability, and class amongst many other identities.
