WATS’A is not a conventional horror film, but a powerful short produced by House of Copper Films that tells an ancestral story of the River Otter People entirely in Smʼalgya̱x, with English subtitles. Made by and for the community, the film draws on stories passed down by elders and explores cultural memory, language revitalization, and supernatural legend.
