Where We Once Roamed

About This Movie

Where We Once Roamed is a deeply immersive documentary that paints a vivid picture of the Blackfeet Nation's journey towards reclaiming their cultural heritage. The film has this meditative, almost ethereal quality, as it captures the landscapes and the profound connection between the buffalo and the people. You get the sense of time stretching, with moments that linger, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere. The pacing feels deliberate, almost contemplative, and it’s fascinating how they let the buffalo roam freely while paralleling the personal journeys of Ethan Running Crane and Ervin Carlson. It’s not just about the buffalo's return; it's about identity, connection to the land, and finding one's place in a changing world. A distinct blend of nature and human experience.
