The Gift of Diabetes
Brion Whitford is an Ojibway filmmaker who lives with the pain of advanced diabetes. As his health worsened, his interest in his own culture grew. The film follows Brion’s struggle to regain his health by learning about the medicine wheel, a holistic tool grounded in Indigenous understanding of the interconnectedness of all dimensions of life. As Brion seeks to get well he explores the historical trauma of colonization and how it continues to affect Indigenous peoples’ physical and psychological well-being.
