A, overworked Quebecker sets off on a road trip towards some First Nations communities in search of a different way of reading the world. He tries to understand the ravages of colonialism perpetrated on these nations by a system that continues to favour him, with the intuition that through these people, he will gain a better understanding of what he is going through. His journey will lead him all the way into the prison system, where the over-representation of First Nations people is symptomatic of the traumas these communities have inherited, and of the systemic racism that persists.
Arising from several stays in First Nations and Inuit communities, Foretelling the Land is an introspective movie about our relationship to reserves, both Indigenous and natural, and to the colonization of land and of thought.
