A journalist leaves with his cameraman and six other passengers aboard an old tugboat that goes up the Windigo River (which means "soul eater" in Algonquin), in northern Quebec. His destination: the territory of Aki, where about fifty Indians have just proclaimed their independence.
Robert Morin
Robert Morin is a Quebecois director, screenwriter, actor, and cinematographer. In 1977, he co-founded Coop Vidéo with friends. Morin made a significant impact in 1992 with his crime film Requiem for a Handsome Bastard. He relied on the talents of committed actors like Gildor Roy and Brigitte Paquette to carry out his uncompromising experimental narrative. It is one of the most celebrated films of his filmography. He is also among the founders of PRIM vidéo, initially conceived as a center for accessing filming equipment following the dissolution of the Montreal artist center, Véhicule Art.
