At Aunt Gladys' funeral, Archer Pechawis' mom is abducted by rabid bears and converted to fundamentalist Christianity. That night, Archer hears a tap on the window — it's a bear named Jesus, who has come to apologize for the actions of the rabid bears. 'A Bear Named Jesus,' a stop-motion film by Terril Calder, is an allegory for religious interference, with an aching yet humorous look at estrangement and mourning for the loss of someone still living. About How to Lose Everything: How to Lose Everything is a series of Indigenous animated short films that explore personal stories of loss. From instructions on how to survive tragedy, to parallels between two Scottish and Inuit communities, to a bear named Jesus, the five stories span nations, languages, and perspectives on heartache.
