Survival Prayer is a close, quiet, very sensitive portrayal of life on Haida Gwaii, letting the people and the images tell their story. Here, a last speaker frames a moving portrait of these abundant food systems at risk. Rich with spectacular scenery of the North Pacific coastline and detailed views of clamming, salmon drying, berry picking, salad preparation and the memories that attend them, this is a story of possibility amid deep loss. Set to an evocative score by Michael Beharie, Greené’s rhythmic and reverential film gradually assumes the form of a ceremonial prayer: poetic, lilting and magical.
"The scenes, sounds and events captured in the film are stunning, and the stories of the people who struggle to keep their food traditions vibrant are compelling and inspiring."—Nancy J. Turner, Distinguished Professor in Ethnoecology, University of Victoria
