Description

With unabashed energy and cinematic zeal, Adam and Zack Khalil explore what it means to be a modern Ojibway, creating a vibrant film that defies all expectations and definitions of what a documentary should be. Inspired by the story of The Seven Fires, a prophecy that foretold the arrival of Europeans in America, the brothers focus on their hometown of Sault Ste. Marie in the Upper Peninsula. Employing a wide range of cinematic styles, the film artfully cuts together personal interviews, moments of performance, and animated drawings with kinetic intensity. Past and present collide in this imaginative, sensational investigation into the importance of tradition and the price of assimilation.
