Synopsis
In January 1948, in an act of rebellion and resistance, a group of students from the Delmas Indian residential school set fire to the building where they had been confined. This event is recounted by Cree playwright and essayist Floyd Favel, of the Poundmaker community in Saskatchewan, based on the memories he has collected from his family and the community. The film also gives voice to former students who were there at the time of the fire and who were forever marked by that extraordinary event.
