#skoden is written, directed and produced by Damien Eagle Bear (Napi, Big Momma, The Bannocking). It was filmed on location in Lethbridge and the Blood Reserve on traditional Blackfoot Territory.
Every meme has its story. #skoden delves into the origins of NDN country’s most iconic meme to redefine the man at the center of it all, Pernell Bad Arm.
This is his story.
This film contains references to alcohol and drug use, foster care, intergenerational trauma, residential schools, and racism and racialized violence.
Director’s Statement
“Pernell’s story is more than just a meme; he was a person deserving dignity and respect. For me, that was the driving force behind #skoden — to reclaim his narrative and delve into the story behind that photo. I’m grateful to TELUS originals for supporting me on this journey so that this story could be told with the depth and respect it deserves.”
