Tea Creek, by Indigenous filmmaker Ryan Dickie, tells the story of a farm in Kitwanga

A new documentary released on CBC Gem Friday tells the story of an Indigenous-led farming initiative in northern British Columbia that aims to foster a deeper connection between Indigenous communities and their land, through the growing, harvesting, and sharing of food.

Tea Creek follows Jacob Beaton, a Tsimshian man who left a successful career as a business consultant to cocreate Tea Creek Farm in Kitwanga — a community situated between Smithers and Terrace — alongside his wife, Jessica Ouellette.
