3.0
A really powerful rumination on the very real world we could be heading towards if we don't start tackling climate change and pollution, mixed in with a healthy dose of Native American lore. Dystopia focusing on the communities and relationships that form, and survival in the face of insurmountable odds.
Graphic: Colonisation
Moderate: Abandonment, Child death, Forced institutionalization, and Genocide
Minor: Gun violence and Suicidal thoughts
