Healing the Interior.
the oldest medicine known to humanity.
In 2021, the world's heart broke with the confirmation of Le Estcwicwéy̓ (‘The Missing’)—the remains of over 200 Indigenous children at the Kamloops Indian Residential School. In the wake of this profound grief, the community turned to the frequency of music.
Healing the Interior follows the “Music For The People” gathering—a transformative event where Indigenous drumming blends with symphonic performance. It is a vessel for the legacy of the late Rod ‘Littlesky’ Bandura, capturing a poignant moment of reflection and renewal. The film explores how music and ceremony are not merely performances, but essential tools for processing generational trauma and reclaiming cultural resilience.
The Mission
To bridge the gap between the indigenous and non-indigenous worlds through the universal power of rhythm. We prove that through collective expression, reconciliation becomes a lived, felt experience rather than an abstract concept.
