"My people will sleep for 100 years, but WHEN THEY AWAKE, it will be the artists who give them their spirits back." - Louis Riel, Métis Leader, 1885 // WHEN THEY AWAKE documents a remarkable generation of established and emerging Indigenous musicians in a moment of cultural and political resurgence. In this era of native resurgence, from Idle No More to Standing Rock, Indigenous musicians across North America are making their voices heard...and people are starting to listen. Working in every genre from Hip Hop to Rock to EDM and beyond, a generation of native musicians are channeling the pain of the past into a stirring, hopeful vision of the future. It is this generation and their astonishing music that WHEN THEY AWAKE bears witness. Featuring over 20 artists, including modern trailblazers A TRIBE CALLED RED, TANYA TAGAQ, LEELA GILDAY and ISKWé, WHEN THEY AWAKE is a magnum opus documenting contemporary indigenous musicians as they transform historical trauma into compelling art.

Compelling documentary on the cultural resurgence of Indigenous music

When They Awake is a compelling music documentary about the amplification of Indigenous voices through its music community in North America. I witnessed first hand this historical movement in the film and music community and watched with emotion When They Awake. To see so many talented Indigenous musicians partake in that important music documentary, a testimony to the resurgence of traditional Indigenous culture and music which had been largely ignored up until recently by the mainstream media. I am looking forward to its sequel.
