Description

Additional Information

Every meme has its story. #skoden delves into the origins of NDN country’s most iconic meme to redefine the man at the centre of it all.
An iconic Indigenous meme sparks a poignant exploration of Albertan man, Pernell Bad Arm, behind the viral phenomenon. Living life with resilience, determination, and humour, his story offers a humanist perspective on Canada’s growing street population and reveals the complexities of digital sovereignty and Indigenous peoples reclaiming their representation.

Featuring a Q & A with filmmaker Damien Eagle Bear and special guest Mark Brave Rock, a participant in the film and vocal advocate for people with addictions and living on the street.

"#skoden isn’t just filled with doom and gloom ... A thoughtful engaging film, #skoden is well worth seeing and is a helpful corrective to the video that gave the documentary its title."
