A Love Letter to My Unborn Child

Narration throughout the film is an open letter speaking about what life and reality is like for Indigenous people today while acknowledging our past, and looking towards the future. This film is dedicated to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2-Spirit who are never forgotten.
