The Musical Score

The film was scored with the striking music of Joanne Shenandoah, one of North America's most honored indigenous musicians. There is percussion and flutes, but also instruments from throughout the world, a multi-cultural approach which fits seamlessly with the visuals. Joanne has written several original songs for the film and her honesty and crystalline vocals consistently bring the audience into a rich and poignant experience. Shenandoah was determined the music would compel the listener to perceive the film as one which was universal in its message.
