 Dir. Chantal Rondeau, Yukon, 2015, 10 min First Nations artist and embroidery expert, Karen Nicloux, was born and raised in Mayo and took up the art of sewing and embroidery at an early age from watching her mother. Karen’s life was forever altered at 16 when a so-called friend offered her cocaine when she complained of a headache. Released takes us into Karen's life as she rediscovers her gift for sewing to regain her focus and figure out how to stay clean. Karen’s embroidery – it represents peace, purpose and acceptance, one day at a time.
