Meadowlarks

Alberta | 2025 | Canadian, Drama | 91 min | Dir. Tasha Hubbard | Parental Guidance Advised

An emotional journey handled with care, respect, and beauty.

Inspired by her own acclaimed documentary Birth of a Family, Tasha Hubbard's Meadowlarks tells the story of four Cree siblings, separated since childhood and now in their fifties, who agreed to meet for the first time over a holiday weekend in Banff. Without the usual markers of familiarity, or a shared sense of cultural belonging, Anthony (Michael Greyeyes), Connie (Carmen Moore), Marianne (Alex Rice) and Gwen (Michelle Thrush) discover unexpected moments of joyous synchronicity, conflict, and connection. With further guidance from the warmth of a newly discovered community, a fledgling family is invited to heal. Excited and curious, but also scarred and afraid of rejection, the Meadowlark siblings must contend with where they have been, and who they will become, especially to one another.

Content Advisory: Mature themes, Sixties Scoop and substance abuse.
