STANDARD DEFINITION (SD)

“He had power that nobody knew…” - The Legend of Aydaygooay, as told by Mary Code and John Clipping.

Worm and Antler. Respect. And a typical Dene hero. Mary Code tells the famous tale of Aydaygooay, as told to her by her father, in this unique blend of animation and live action documentary. This is a great equalizer; a tale as old as time, familiar enough to cross oceans, yet unique enough to turn heads. A must-see for all ages.
