Description:
This documentary explores the fascinating history of Indigenous masks from North America that ended up in the possession of European Surrealists. These masks profoundly impacted artists and writers like Max Ernst, André Breton, Roberto Matta, and Joan Miró. The film also follows a compelling effort to return a mask, stolen from the Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw people of Canada over a century ago. Through a journey across Canada, the Atlantic, and back, Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond (of *Reel Injun*) uncovers a story of global influence, cultural reconnection, and seeking justice. It’s a blend of investigation, travel, and a spiritual quest.
