Description

Shane Bearskin, a young Cree man from James Bay, and Theresa Wawati, an Algonquin woman from northern Quebec, are united by a profound love for each other and a visceral attachment to their heritage.

As children, both experienced the challenges that face so many young people from indigenous communities. They are now studying in universities in Montreal.

Theresa is determined to become a lawyer to defend her Algonquin nation whose lands and way of life are constantly encroached upon.

When Theresa is diagnosed with terminal leukemia and given a year to live, they decide to live out their dream of returning to live in the bush like their ancestors and also have a baby.

With Speak to Me in Indian, David Gidmark has captured the aching beauty of life and the passionate longing for freedom that, despite all odds, breathe hope in human beings worldwide.
