ReVision Quest

ReVision Quest

ReVision Quest mixes personal storytelling, current affairs interviews and comedy to explore issues affecting Native peoples today, kicking some ass-umptions about Aboriginal life along the way. It's a show about the First Nations experience, created by all First Nations producers. Our guide is Darrell Dennis, originally from the Shuswap First Nation in B.C. Darrell is an actor, comedian and screenwriter. He's performed in Northwood, The Rez and in his own creation Tales of An Urban Indian. He wrote the film Moccasin Flats, an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival that later became a TV series.
