Investigating slavery in Canada through the story of Marie-Josèphe Angélique, a Black slave accused of burning Montreal in 1734. After an epic trial, this untameable slave is tortured and sentenced to death. But was she really guilty of this crime or was she the victim of a bigger conspiracy? Why this voluntary amnesia about this unknown page of Canadian history?

In this film, Ayana O'Shun investigates the phenomenon of absent fathers in black communities, through her personal story and that of luminous and resilient women from Quebec and Guadeloupe.
