In this period piece set in Vermont in 1927, Tantoo Cardinal plays the feisty Bangor, who along with lumberman Noel Lord (Torn) is engaged in a battle with the Northern Power Company. Faced with the end of their way of life– when the building of a giant hydro dam threatens to move them off their land– Lord and Bangor try to stave off the inevitable by taking on the power company. Produced and directed by Vermont based independent filmmaker Jay Craven, this beautifully photographed film captures the flavor of a New England that has now vanished. Interview described Cardinal’s performance as one filled with “such astonishing grace that Oscars should rain from the heavens.”
