Dan Wells

Songs of Unama’ki ventures into the “land of the fog” – Cape Breton – where traditional music of the Mi’kmaq shines despite the passage of time. Directed by Mi’kmaw filmmaker Dawn Wells and Jeff Miller, this transportive documentary mines archival material (including recordings captured by folklorist Helen Creighton) and highlights fiddle legend Lee Cremo, tying these gems of yore to gifted artists of today who prove this music is rich and perennial.
