The Cree of northern Saskatchewan living along the Churchill
River have managed the river's fragile ecosystem to sustain their
traditional way of life for hundreds of years. This documentary
looks at the cultural and environmental degradation caused by
dams built by mining companies, sharing first hand stories from
the communities as they consider how they, the sturgeon, the land
and the dams can co-exist in the future.
