Episode 3: Henry crashes and burns under all the pressure. He is forced to reveal the truth of Johnnie’s death. That truth allows others to confront their truths as well and release things that may be holding them in unhealthy ways.
Episode 2 Recap: Henry is spinning out of control after finding Rosie’s secret. He is still haunted by Johnnie’s death and the circumstances of that night. He’s turned back to booze and violence. Ruth tries to save Rosie from an unhappy relationship while also trying to figure out what The Boys know.
Sixty Below is an examination of what it means to be Indigenous in today’s Yukon, indeed in today’s Canada. Indigenous peoples have suffered colonization for hundreds of years. Loss of language, loss of identity, loss of control. Yet we survive. We are still here.
This audio play asks you to confront the losses and embrace hope with its characters.
