After moving into an old isolated house with her newly-single mother and her little sister, 12 year old Cassie begins to suspect that her family is being tormented by the spirit of a sadistic River Witch.
Meneath: The Hidden Island of Ethics dives deeply into the innate contrast between the Seven Deadly Sins (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Pride and Envy) and the Seven Sacred Teachings (Love, Respect, Wisdom, Courage, Truth, Honesty and Humility), as embodied in the life of a precocious Métis baby. Brought to life by Terril Calder’s darkly beautiful stop-motion animation, her inner turmoil of abuse is laid bare with unflinching honesty. Convinced she’s soiled and destined for Hell, Baby Girl receives teachings that fill her with strength and pride, and affirm a path towards healing. Calder’s tour-de-force unearths a hauntingly familiar yet hopeful world that illuminates the bias of colonial systems.

Girl with Joss
В индейской резервации Ред Кроу начали оживать мёртвые: выпотрошенная рыба, пристреленная из жалости собака. Зараза не обошла стороной и людей, которые, превратившись в безмозглых агрессивных тварей, стали бросаться на здоровое население. Но у коренных жителей Америки обнаружился иммунитет к неизвестному вирусу. Теперь они вынуждены жить на ещё меньшей огороженной территории и всеми силами противостоять зомби-чуме, ведь даже при устойчивости к этому страшному заболеванию быть съеденным заживо — то ещё удовольствие.
