Quote:
"The idea [for Red Snow] came to [Marie] Clements while she was looking at photo essay about Afghanistan and realized that the people didn't look dissimilar to Indigenous people in Canada. This experience grew into a story about a young Gwich'in soldier named Dylan (Asivak Koostachin) who is forced to confront his difficult past after he is captured by the Taliban while on tour in Afghanistan."
