La cartomancie du territoire

La cartomancie du territoire tells the story of an overworked French-speaking Quebecer, like many others in our time. He sets off on a road trip to some of Quebec’s First Nations communities in search of meaning, healing and another way of reading the world. He tries to understand the ravages of colonialism perpetrated on these nations by a system that still favors it. He seeks to see what has been done in his name, with the intuition that through these people, he will better understand his own distress. His journey takes him as far as the prison system, where the over-representation of First Nations people is symptomatic of the traumas these communities have inherited, and of the systemic racism that persists.
