Edge of the Knife: The film in a language only 20 people speak
The protagonist of Edge of the Knife, Adiits'ii, as he begins his descent into madness
It is this family tragedy that serves as the focus of the Canadian film Edge of the Knife, or Sgaawaau K'uuna. The story, steeped in the supernatural, centres on the universal themes of family, love, loss and betrayal. Diane Brown, Gwaai's grandmother, is one of the last remaining speakers of Haida and acted in the film.
In the film, two Haida communities come together to prepare food for the winter. Geometric patterns are tattooed across their chests and they wear cloaks woven from the spruce trees of the land around them.
