SEDNA, EMPRESS OF THE SEA is an animated, action-adventure about one of the most compelling Indigenous legends of all time. It’s the story of Sedna, a courageous young Inuit girl who kidnapped by an evil raven, escapes by kayak, only to end up at the bottom of the sea where she becomes the ruler of the sea animals. Though a light-hearted musical, the film uses metaphors and allegory to introduce children to the concept of residential schools and their impact on Indigenous children and families.
