Rustic Oracle (2019) watch online

Rustic Oracle is a Canadian drama film, directed by Sonia Boileau and released in 2019. An exploration of the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, the film stars Lake Kahentawaks Delisle and Carmen Moore as Ivy and Susan, the younger sister and mother of missing teenager Heather (Mckenzie Kahnekaroroks Deer), who embark on a trek to find Heather themselves due to a lack of action on her case by the police.

The film's cast also includes Kevin Parent, Margo Kane, Alex Rice and Brittany LeBorgne, with a cameo and voiceover by Kawennáhere Devery Jacobs, to end the film, as an adult Ivy.

The film, Boileau's second feature film after Le Dep (2015) but her first English-language feature, was shot in 2018, primarily around Oka and Kanesatake, Quebec. The film's title derives from its use of the dandelion as a recurring motif; according to Boileau, "The dandelion is perceived as a weed when actually it’s the strongest of all the flowers. It contains powerful medicine, and it’s viewed as a magical thing that will carry your wishes and memories into the wind when you blow on it. So it’s all about how we perceive someone versus how they actually are."
