Directed by Vanda Fleury

Logline: A resilient Métis woman seeks birth justice through family and cultural narratives.

Synopsis: The poetry-film, 'In Good Hands' is a Métis woman's expression of birth sovereignty, punctuated by intimate experiences of motherhood. She traces the storylines of identity to ancestral birthwork, spirit names, and kinship connections. It is a show of resistance that contributes to dismantling colonial narratives that devalue and ignore Indigenous women's life experiences.
