The Beloved Community
The film is about the Aamjiwnaang First Nation community (Chippewas of Aamjiwnaang) near Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. In the summer of 2004, Canadian health researchers made a startling discovery in the Aamjiwnaang Ojibwe birth records tat for the past decade, girl babies had been outnumbering boys at a rate of 2:1. Further investigation revealed large numbers of miscarriages, a cluster of reproductive anomalies in young women and widespread neurological problems among the Ojibwe children.
