Audibert said she is carrying on the age-old tradition of Indigenous storytelling, only in a more “modern” way. The film called “QAQSOSS NAKA WAHUNTUHSIS features wide-eyed, whimsical characters addressing a very adult topic, Audibert said.“It’s a story about a fox who is suffering from mental illness. She is trying to run away from her problems and, in that, she ends up running into this dark forest, which for me is a representation of depression,” she said.
“For me it has a connection with residential schools,” Audibert said, “and looking at residential school survivors… and people that have to live with someone else who maybe is a residential school survivor who also has mental illness.”
