Retake - Making the World's First Haida-Language Feature Film

"If we lose the language, we will no longer be Haida – Haida is the only thing that distinguishes us from other people." - Delores Churchill

Retake follows the journey of co-directors Gwaai Edenshaw (Haida) and Helen Haig-Brown (Tsilhqot'in) as they work to produce The Edge of the Knife, a feature-length film told entirely in the critically-endangered Haida language. The film tells the story of a traditional Haida legend, showcasing the Haida culture in many ways that have never been seen by a broad audience.
