Zoetry is a bold and immersive visual poetry series by celebrated spoken-word poet and community-based educator Zoey Roy (Nêhithaw-Denesuline Métis) unfolding in seven cinematic episodes. Journey with a rebel who finds her cause, breaks barriers, connects to her past, and transforms the trajectory of her life. Each episode blends spoken word, music, and stunning visuals, taking you through the shadows of trauma and self-doubt into the light of courage, compassion, and hope.

Above all, Zoetry invites audiences to accept what it means to be fully human.
