“This remarkable film traces roots of differing kinds – natural tree roots collected and woven into exquisite baskets and hats, but also cultural roots of kinship traced across boundaries of time, space and generation.  This accessible and beautiful documentary, will stimulate discussion among students of all ages and from a wide variety of disciplines.”
