The Incredible 25th Year of Mitzi Bearclaw is the spiritual journey of a young Indigenous woman who wants to pursue her dream of designing hats but is driven to return home to the reserve on Owl Island to look after her ailing mother. As the year passes she develops confidence in her decisions helped out by spirit guides along the way. Morningstar Angeline gives a beautiful performance as a young Indigenous woman struggling with whether to follow her heart or care for her family. (Winnipeg Cinematheque)
