01 / THE STORY
-Thirty years after the closing of the Schefferville's mining colony (in Quebec, Canada), and after taking over the town abandoned by non natives, the Innus are facing a new challenge: the reopening of the iron mines. Territory, identity and legitimacy are at the heart of a dialogue between two people, Quebecers and First Nations, living the same combat. Two civilizations that proclaim to be colonized. Although the first one often times acts as the colonizer.
