In 2014, BC Hydro announced the construction of a third dam on Peace River, in the territory of several First Nations who signed Treaty 8 in 1899. This colossal new build will flood miles of Peace Valley. The communities, who have already seen the damage caused by dams to their ancestral lands and the environment, oppose construction. This film conveys the importance of these communities’ fierce battle by showing their way of life, rituals, and spirituality. More importantly, it expands focus by seriously questioning the value of treaties, which governments disrespect despite their commitments to Indigenous rights and the discourse on reconciliation.
