"My Father's Son"
A deeply personal look at connection to the past, connection to the land and connection to family. Robin travelled with his family to his ancestral home within the Tahltan nation to the village of Dease Lake to recover his father’s old photo albums. These were the photos taken on the road north as they travelled to Dease.
