Homecoming Song blends animation, archival footage and traditonal narrative in a poetic short documentary that tells the parallel stories of two men who came home, one lost at sea and the other from fighting in World War II. Many years ago a Tlingit man, Kaax’achgook, of the Kiks.adi clan of Southeast Alaska was lost at sea for 3 years and returned home with a song telling of his experiences. When Pete Sidney came back after being away for six years fighting in the 2nd world war, his mother Angela Sidney sang this ancient song for him.
