Angel Baribeau
Love Is Up The River
Angel's first love lies at the river's mouth, in the Eeyou Istchee, where it flows freely into the James Bay. In preparation for the long journey North, Mary Baribeau (Angel's mother) accompanies their child on a quest for self-acceptance and empowerment. Amidst fictional dream and documentary filmmaking, this is the honest story of a two-spirited musician seeking love and fulfillment.

"Love is Up the River" is a song is about an innocent love between two young women; separated by distance and time. The song touches on self doubt and questioning one's worthiness. Searching for something, someone. Above all, the song is about hope. Hope that one day, we all make it on our journey up the river.''
