Abalone Eyes (2022)

Told through the efforts of Danielle – aka Abalone Eyes, or Ducky to her friends –, this poetic document in film follows her plight to protect the Trinity River that flows the length of Hoopa lands. Retracing Danielle’s activism journey through conversations with elders and honored rituals, Abalone Eyes looks to shed light on the intersections of water justice, native justice, climate justice, and mental health – telling how the Hoopa’s deep connection with the land, and struggle to protect it, runs as deep as the Trinity River that has served as the lifeforce of the community for generations.
