Steered by Nicolas Baby’s plangent score and the calm, defiant presence of Harris, Being Thunder is a wonderfully candid and serene documentary about addressing gender and history.

Taking an observational approach, the film rarely explains the customs and culture it so intimately captures, only addressing an outsider perspective when Sherenté is seen leading educational tours. Instead, viewers are let in on sacred rituals and community gatherings, following Sherenté’s lived experience closely.
