"3 suicides leave 8 siblings orphaned in a community struggling with 3rd world conditions."--Back cover of DVD case.

"Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (the people of the lake) is a remote Native community bound by reserve laws in the forgotten North of Ontario. This Nation dates back to 5,000 years where bones of their ancestors were discovered on the shores of Big Trout Lake. Today this proud Nation is deeply impoverished in 3rd World conditions bound by Treaty laws signed by their non-English speaking ancestors. Set in the backdrop of the aftermath of the suicide of three parents, the documentary explores the impact of 3rd world conditions on the children left behind and a community's courage in looking after them. In her third documentary film, Gemini-nominee, Andrée Cazabon brings to light the impact of reserve conditions through the poignant testimonies of children and youth. Filmed with the participation of Tikinagan Child & Family Services, the Nation of Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug and the Mamow-Sha-way-gi-kay-win: North South Partnership for Children."--Website description.
