Online screening available for 24h.
Through the music that has accompanied the Innu throughout their history, Kevin Bacon Hervieux traces the fabulous adventure of the founders of the Innu Nikamu Indigenous Music and Arts Festival in Mani-Utenam in Quebec’s North Shore region. These musicians, artisans and collaborators gave hope to a people in distress, daring to believe that the challenge of reclaiming their culture and language was achievable.
