Bill Reid Remembers -- Film Description:
"Bill Reid Remembers is a beautiful tribute from Alanis Obomsawin to her friend's remarkable life and rich legacy. Despite spending his early life away from his nation's culture, renowned Haida artist Bill Reid always kept Haida Gwaii close to his heart. While working for CBC Radio, he started learning how to make jewelry, then later sculpture, using Haida techniques and images, a move that would forever change his life and the Canadian artistic landscape. Reid's powerful narration in the film—interspersed with Obomsawin's own—recounts his complex childhood, his emergence as an accomplished artist, and his profound connection to his homeland. Decades after his passing, Bill Reid remains an enduring force and one of Canada's greatest artists."
