For many a yoga devotee, the name BKS Iyengar is synonymous with mastery of the art. Born in southern India in 1918, Iyengar dedicated his life to yogic practice and is often credited with popularizing yoga in the world at large. In Jake Clennell’s illuminating documentary, centered on the Guruji’s legacy and teachings, we meet the legend himself, along with his family members and a host of his reverent disciples. What shines through between rigorous asanas and interviews with students and teachers alike is the mental discipline and spiritual focus that lie at the core of the Iyengar approach.

The statistics are staggering. In Canada, it is estimated that an Indigenous woman is eight times more likely to be murdered than any other citizen. Though advocates have been raising the alarm about missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG) in their communities for decades, the total numbers are still unclear, and many cases remain unsolved. Kim O’Bomsawin’s searing documentary explores the systemic failures that contribute to these alarming statistics, while putting a face and a story to the women and girls behind these numbers.
