Fire Starters tackles restorative justice on a contemporary reserve in Northwestern Ontario.
When two white teenagers accidentally set fire to a gas station, their Indigenous classmates are wrongly accused. The truth slowly comes to light as contrasting systems of justice are explored–both the traditional ways of the community and Canadian law enforcement.
Fire Starters explores prejudice, racism, and what reconciliation could look like, “moving it from a concept to [an] on-the-ground example of what reconciliation could mean, in action, in a small community” (Debbie Reese).
