Wilfred Buck’s life is not just the story of a single man who has overcome the most incredible trials. It is also a story of how indigenous people across generations have struggled to reclaim lost knowledge, ancient traditions and, most importantly, self-respect after hundreds of years of colonialism. The result is a beautiful and compelling work that moves between past and pre- sent, and between Earth and the stars, to overcome the ghosts of colonization.
