Episode 2: Henry walks the Red Road his old life begins to pop up and tempt him. Rosie is bettering herself, Ruth is agitating and his pals are going nowhere. Meanwhile, the ghost of Johnnie haunts him. Can he stay on the straight and narrow?

Episode 1 Recap: Henry has returned from a stint in jail with a new resolve to go straight, but he walks back into a world that has not changed. He’s reaching out for help in his new journey but temptations are constant and so are dreams of another time. Rosie is improving her life but doesn’t know how to broach the subject with Henry.

Sixty Below is an examination of what it means to be Indigenous in today’s Yukon, indeed in today’s Canada. Indigenous peoples have suffered colonization for hundreds of years. Loss of language, loss of identity, loss of control. Yet we survive. We are still here.

This audio play asks you to confront the losses and embrace hope with its characters.
