Old memories surface when the filmmaker 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 1950s, which laid waste to a self-sufficient
American Indian community, submerging 156,000 acres of fertile
land, and ultimately displacing his family and the other people
of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.
