In the 1700’s the battle to claim Alaska and its peoples began, setting into motion disruptive changes for Alaska’s first peoples. The painful scars from colonization continue to cycle from one generation to the next.

Faced with heartbreaking challenges, Alaska Native communities are striving to recover and regain balance. In a landscape as dramatic as its stories, We Breathe Again intimately explores the lives of our Alaska Native people, each confronting the impacts of ntergenerational trauma and suicide. Reflected in the northern lights and the city streetlights, from the ice roads to the asphalt, the characters battle for personal healing, hoping to break new trail for their families and their communities to follow.
