Storyline
14-year-old Ella is determined to travel the length of the Inside Passage, along the shores of the Great Bear Rainforest by kayak in order to testify against a proposed pipeline that would see oil tanker traffic through her beloved homeland waters. She's prepared to handle all of the challenges the wildlife, the weather, the water, and her gear have to offer up. The most challenging of all is that she has to bring her dysfunctional family with her. Her neurotic aunt, her cranky uncle, her wayward cousin, and the memory of her late uncle all come along for the ride to make it a fun and amazing adventure. From Tla'Amin to Klemtu, BC, this family navigates their blend of cultures and desires, while their spirits honour the coast as a place for each of us to call home and protect.

My partner and I enjoyed this film a lot. While slightly formulaic, the story is about much more than spreading somebody's ashes. The film is about a character's rediscovery of their past, their connection to a place, and their spirituality. The spreading of ashes is simply the premise or vehicle that gets the characters started on their quest (a plot device, if you will). Anybody who has ever questioned their place in their own life journey or who has felt connected (or wanted to) with nature will appreciate the soft and touching story here.
