For the Suquamish Tribe of the Port Madison Indian Reservation in Washington State, tribal sovereignty offers a tempting but limited economic opportunity-the sale of Fourth of July fireworks. The film chronicles the daily challenges of making a living as well as the high hopes and high anxiety of fireworks season.
