This documentary from Martin Duckworth features young adults from two distinct Winnipeg neighbourhoods on either side of the Red River who struggle to overcome geographical and cultural barriers. High school students from the predominantly Indigenous North End and their peers from the Francophone district of St. Boniface work together to produce a play on the origins of the Métis. Their collaboration raises questions about how these youths foresee their role and place within their respective communities and how these minority communities co-exist with the predominant culture. The film also tackles issues of intolerance, racism and discrimination.

Ce film permet de comprendre l’importance historique de Louis Riel tout en actualisant sa portée. Invitez préalablement les étudiants à se familiariser avec l’homme politique. Demandez-leur ensuite d’établir des liens entre le combat de Riel et la situation des protagonistes du film. En s’inspirant de leurs recherches et du sketch, proposez-leur de développer une mise en scène à caractère social qui traiterait d’un problème qui leur tient à cœur.
