Parallel narratives portray a small Native community-its familiar
routines, small joys, and an undercurrent of despair that threatens
to erupt into violence. This first feature, produced at the filmmaker's
own Whitefish Lake First Nation, combines risky young filmmaking
with a verité view of northern Native life.
