Today on the podcast I am joined by writer/director Dr. Jules Arita Koostachin to discuss the making of her new feature film "Broken Angel". We also talk about her journey in the film industry and the challenges she has faced as a mother and BIPOC woman.

"Broken Angel" is a BC production that follows Angel, mother to Tanis, who escapes into the night from her abusive partner Earl (Carlo Marks) to a women’s shelter on the reservation. As the prospect of a new beginning comes to light, he tracks her down and she is forced to flee or fight.

"Broken Angel" premieres at imagineNATIVE FILM + MEDIA ARTS FESTIVAL, Saturday, Oct. 20, 2022 at 6:45pm ET at TIFF BELL LIGHTBOX - TBLB 1 - 350 King St W, Toronto, ON M5V 3X5.

Deco talks about how he found the inspiration for this film and how he found the perfect producing partners. Deco also reflects on the challenges he faced as a writer and director in the entertainment industry.

About DIASPORA

Arriving in Winnipeg's North End, a young Ukrainian immigrant Eva finds a city filled with rundown, outdated establishments and a disproportional number of other, culturally diverse immigrants, all too in search for a new life; each desperately holding onto their own language and culture, creating a neighbourhood of (comedic) miscommunication, growing apathy and often painful alienation.
