Life in the shadow of the great dams.
Radisson and Chisasibi, two communities in the heart of the Quebec
taiga, developed in the shadow of the massive James Bay hydroelectric
project. Once construction was finished, many of the workers went back
home, but a few hardy souls decided to stay.
While the people of Radisson find innovative ways to put down roots in
this vast land, the Crees of Chisasibi strive to maintain their
traditions and pass them on to the younger generation, who are
attracted to the ease of modern life. Living in this remote region
requires imagination and solidarity. And the lure of the South is
strong.
