How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sprawling, uncompromising portrait of collision and survival on the colonial frontier: English and French settlers, Indigenous peoples, and desperate escapists locked in cycles of violence, displacement, and hardship across generations. The series moves with a measured, novelistic patience through moral complexity and brutal environmental realities.
