A National Film Board of Canada production.
Cree comedian Don Burnstick is a legend across Turtle Island. His trademark brand of comedy is deeply rooted in the First Nations experience. Like many great stand-ups before him, Burnstick had a harsh and troubled childhood. Since he became sober at the age of 21, he has dedicated himself to sharing his story to inspire positive change in others. During a visit to the Attawapiskat First Nation (Kattawapiskak), Burnstick gives an unflinchingly honest presentation to local youth and demonstrates that humour is healing.
