#skoden is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Damien Eagle Bear and released in 2025. [1] The film is a portrait of Pernell Bad Arm, a homeless Kainai man in Lethbridge, Alberta, who attained viral internet fame in the 2010s when an image of him confronting a photographer briefly became an anti-indigenous racist meme, before being reclaimed by indigenous youth as a symbol of pride and resistance. [2]
In an essay for CBC Arts, Eagle Bear explained his desire to help flesh out and expand the understanding of a man who was known to the general public more as a symbol than as a real person. [3]
The film premiered in the Canadian Spectrum competition at the 2025 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, [4] where Damien Eagle Bear won the Earl A. Glick Emerging Canadian Filmmaker Award. [5]
