Bridges To The North
1h 45m
A Marten Falls and Webequie story about their quest to bring roads into their communities while facing up to pandemics of suicide, food, and standards of living. A story about the "Ring of Fire."
Directed by Tony McGuire
I was born in Thunder Bay, a small city near the Minnesota border, the traditional lands of my people. Now a border splits it up into 2 countries, many of the stories we tell around the fire are no longer about learning, teaching and joy but instead capture our sadness, our anger and our dispossession.
I was asked to tell the story of two First Nation reservations who are trying to reclaim their past but are finding opposition while they are trying to work with all the parties involved. It was going to be a hard story but a year and a half later we have something accurate and most importantly, Anishinawbe told.
