Jackieland (2016)

Hanging from a hillside in rural British Columbia, 'Jackieland' is eccentric Jackie Cooke's home to 39 cats, 9 dogs, 8 exotic birds, 30 chickens, and several tonnes of materials "saved" from the local landfill. Everything in Jackie's life has at some point been cast aside-the rescued animals, the salvaged bike frames, even Jackie herself. And yet, Jackieland has morphed into a highly curated collection of objects and stories that reveal a very honest and insightful perspective of humanity -- and Jackie herself. The film 'Jackieland' is a character sketch based around the eccentricities, wisdom, and experience of Jackie Cooke. The more we poke around in the clutter and chaos of Jackieland, the more understanding and compassion we discover...along with a fresh pot of road kill stew and the occasional wire trip.
