imagineNATIVE Documentary Feature: #SKODEN

Join us for a screening of #SKODEN, a Hot Docs 2025 documentary feature, and part of the imagineNATIVE Film Festival's touring program.

A viral photo once used to mock Indigenous identity became a symbol of resistance with a single word: SKODEN – an Indigenous shortening of “let’s go then” – created an instant Indigenous pop culture icon. But underneath the viral fame was Pernell Bad Arm, a kind and generous Blackfoot man who faced immense challenges while living on the streets. This documentary seeks to reclaim Pernell’s humanity, offering a deeper portrait of the man behind the meme.

The imagineNATIVE Film Festival was founded to support the diverse contemporary work of Indigenous directors, producers, and screenwriters working in film, video, audio, and digital media.
