Wilfred Buck

Event closed

Lisa Jackson's portrait of Cree Elder Wilfred Buck moves between earth and sky, past and present, bringing to life ancient teachings of Indigenous astronomy and cosmology to tell a story that spans generations.  Adapted from Buck's rollicking memoir "I Have Lived Four Lives," the film weaves together stories from his life, including his harrowing young years of displacement and addiction.  Seamlessly fusing present-day scenes with cinematic re-enactments and archival footage, this intimate yet expansive documentary takes us on an inspiring journey to the space beyond, and to the spaces between us all.
