Les Sceaux D'Utrecht (2014)

The Utrecht treaty was signed in 1713. It changed the face of the world. This documentary, hosted by the algonquin/metis rapper Samian, tells the story from the point of view of those who were not at the table to sign this most important treaty that had consequences for all populations of America. Examining these events, we are reminded of the foundation of our existing economy which is still based in the savage extraction of our natural ressources and we discover the attitudes and mentality of the aboriginal, the acadian and the europeans in their relationship to the exploitation of this land.
