Film Description:
"Kushtakuan, the Innu word for 'danger,' adorns the signs that border the open mining pits pockmarking a once pristine northern landscape. Spoken entirely in Inuktitut, this candid portrait gives voice to a community divided by a sense of responsibility to their environment and a desire to financially provide for their families. An uncompromising glimpse into an Indigenous community struggling to adapt to globalization."
-- Michelle Latimer (source)

"Mining exploitation picks up again in the Innu community of Matimekush. For or against?"
