History of Abraim

The camera doesn't move—the voices tell the tale. A happenstance conversation drifts into Abraim's life story. Sold as a child by his father for a cow, Abraim's history speaks to the rootlessness of Indigenous people. The audience eavesdrops as success and failure, longing and acceptance, fleetingness and permanence roll into a final tapestry of one man's life. (Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival)
