“…a study of spirit, morality and resilience.
”
-”Marie-Hélène Cousineau and Michelle Derosier harrowing, Angelique’s Isle based on the story of Angelique Mott is a study of spirit, morality and resilience. Its 1845 near Sault Ste Marie; a young Anishinaabe woman (Julia Jones) marries a French-Canadian voyageur. They go against her grandmother’s (Tantoo Cardinal) instincts to join two Detroit businessmen on a search for copper on Lake Superior’s Isle Royale. They’re left there for two weeks to guard a rock loaded with the mineral but before long, autumn sets in and then winter.”
