One man's story, everyone's journey, a journey of remembering... who we are

Starblanket: A Spirit Journey is a spiritually inspired documentary. Educational and informative, emotional and joyful, it is infused with the wisdom of the Elders-- their words and voices are woven throughout. The Native American soundtrack, both traditional and contemporary, is a healing journey in and of itself.
Starblanket: A Spirit Journey is The Circle of Life, the return of the ancient teachings, and the Seventh Generation. It is hope for the future and a reminder of what we have long since forgotten and though it is one man's story, it is everyone's journey
We are especially grateful to the following people:
Chief Noel Starblanket for sharing his life story, his culture and traditions, so eloquently and honestly, Anishinabe Elder, Dave Courchene /Leading Earth Man for his beautiful voiceovers and the spiritual energy he brings through, and Tom Bee, owner of Sound of America Records for his generosity and guidance with the music and his belief in this project.
And to the many, many people who contributed their music, their photographs, their assistance and their support...
Thank you!
"STARBLANKET: A Spirit Journey demonstrates the resilience of the human spirit and endurance against great odds. In our troubled world, never before have we needed visions of hope and reminders of our connection with the divine, as now. This is documentary filmmaking at its best."
