About the Film:
Kuessipan tells the story of Mikuan (Sharon Fontaine-Ishpatao) and Shaniss (Yamie Grégoire), two friends whose friendship is tested by their diverging ambitions. This coming-of-age story, set in a Quebec Innu community, is humorous, tender, and heartbreaking. This adaptation of Naomi Fontaine’s acclaimed novel is told through an Indigenous lens, but its themes are universally rooted in friendship, dreams, and the power of community
