SEWÂTSIWIN : ILS SONT SACRÉS
CINÉ JONCTION presents:
SEWÂTSIWIN: THEY ARE SACRED by Kim O’Bomsawin
Canada (Quebec). 2025. 75 min. Documentary. (G)
Original English version with French subtitles
In Indigenous traditions, differences were not viewed as a disability, but rather as a strength that benefited the entire community. This was true for people with autism, who were considered to possess unique gifts and a connection to the spirit world. Through intimate encounters with Anders, SEWÂTSIWIN: THEY ARE SACRED gives viewers unique access to the world of an autistic child and allows them to follow the journey of his father, who is dedicated to bringing traditional First Nations perspectives into our contemporary world.
« L’œuvre nous invite à repenser notre rapport à l’autisme, souvent vu dans les traditions occidentales comme une « maladie à guérir ». La voix du père, Grant Bruno, structure le récit et ouvre un dialogue fécond entre savoirs scientifiques, rituels et quotidien familial. La relation père-fils y est d’une tendresse qui désarme — de beaux modèles encore ancrés dans la célébration de la joie et de la tradition. » (Sarah-Louise Pelletier-Morin, Le Devoir) ★★★★
