La paix des braves

La Paix des Braves (The Peace of the Braves) is a documentary focusing on the national and territorial disputes between non-Natives and the Cree of northwestern Quebec. It chronicles a struggle that has spanned over 400 years, culminating in 1971 with the "savage invasion" of the James Bay territories and the sudden exploitation of its hydroelectric, forestry and mining resources. In spite of the apparent unanimity of the "Peace of the Braves" decision, this documentary highlights the ongoing problems between these two communities in conflict and the high stakes that continue to impact them.
