“A lyrical, haunting account of loss of community and cultural identity...vividly reimagines the fabled towns and rich bottomland from which the North Dakota Indians were evicted by the damming of the Missouri River.”
-Ronnie Scheib, VARIETY |

“Deeply personal and made with passion and tenderness, this gem reveals incredible, little known history, past and present, that, amazingly, both breaks your heart and raises your spirits...It’s a documentary every American should see. ”

Old memories surface when Hidatsa/Mandan filmmaker, J. Carlos Peinado revisits the Upper Missouri River basin in North Dakota where his ancestors once lived. There he investigates the impact of the massive Garrison Dam project, constructed in the 1950’s by the Army Corps of Engineers, which laid waste to a self-sufficient American Indian community, submerging fertile land and displacing his family and the people of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.
