How it feels
In the summer of 2000, Canadian fishery officers clashed with Mi'gmaq fishermen in Burnt Church, New Brunswick. The film examines why the government attacked citizens for exercising rights that the Supreme Court had affirmed. Alanis Obomsawin provides historical context for the events on Miramichi Bay.
