Uncommon Ground

Set in the Coast Salish region of the Pacific Northwest, 150 years in the future, the true history of North America has been swept under the rug, the stories of Indigenous peoples have been silenced, and religion and culture are criminalized. Faith Sparrow-Crawford is a director, writer, and producer from the Musqueam Nation in Vancouver, British Columbia.
