How does the past influence the present and the future?
In a reversal of history, an Aboriginal group travels to 1812 England and sets up a residential school system. The morality story is told through a play in progress which follows an irreverent animated voyage to the new land. The poignant video tale is inter-cut with accounts from residential school survivors.
