This film offers a new look at the displacement and community effects caused by major projects like oil sands mining in Alberta, Canada. While these projects promise economic progress, they also deeply impact the lives of people and alter the cultural landscape of affected areas. For six months, director Renée Blanchar and her team spent time with three families from the Acadian Peninsula in New Brunswick, documenting their experiences. The film explores themes of displacement, life choices, values, and most profoundly, absence – the often immeasurable cost borne by each family member.
