Mohawk filmmaker Tracy Deer and Cree filmmaker
Neil Diamond present a moving account of the
events leading up to a vote on a controversial
agreement between the Cree Nation and the
province of Quebec. The proposal, promoted to the
Cree by their Grand Chief Ted Moses, would dam
the Rupert River, not only resulting in
monumental changes to the local environment, but
dividing the community as well.
