"Le mouvement de protestation contre le projet hydroélectrique de la Baie James, à l'époque de Robert Bourassa. La nation Crie a été particulièrement touchée par les impacts environnementaux de la première phase; c'est pourquoi ils étaient à la tête de la campagne internationale visant au moratoire de la phase 2 et de favoriser le développement durable du Nord-du-Québec. Dans ce film tourné en 1991, le cinéaste Boyce Richardson revisite les communautés Cries où il avait filmé dans les années 1970. Il montre la dégradation du territoire depuis la construction des premiers barrages."
