It is a journey from A to B, storytelling 101 - a soulful gesture free of artifice and grandiosity. That it comes with activism attached is not a bonus, but its very point.

As a drama, Kayak to Klemtu ultimately founders.

For better or worse, this is the sort of issue-oriented film that teachers like to show to middle-school classes.

It moves along well enough, and younger viewers should respond to Ella's arc, but grown-ups will quickly realize the movie they're watching should be a lot better than it is.

This movie was truly terrible. Not once did I find myself enjoying it. the acting was subpar at best, Sonja Bennett shows a comlete lack of acting skill as she has shown all her career. I wasnt expecting much from this film but even taking that into consideration I found myself dozing off and wishing I never started it. The only reason I ever started this film was because I was forced to by my english teacher.

This was an insightful movie for Canadians who don't know much about our First Nations family and why the environment is so important. Also, why we need to support each other and learn.

The scenery and the soundtrack is reason enough to give this 4 stars, but I could also relate to the message behind it.

Amazing documentary that is easy to watch, perfect for kids and teens and holds such an important message. The only sad part was that a few weeks after the film was finished, an actual oil spill happened in that region. It will take years to restore it back to health and clean up the damage caused by the spill. Thanks for spreading this message.
