An NFB crew filmed a group of three families, Cree hunters from Mistassini. Since times predating agriculture, this First Nations people have gone to the bush of the James Bay and Ungava Bay area to hunt. We see the building of the winter camp, the hunting and the rhythms of Cree family life.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Boyce Richardson's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Cree Hunters of Mistassini is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
