About This Movie
Place of the Boss: Utshimassits is a poignant dive into the struggles of the Mushuau Innu. John Walker captures a raw atmosphere, presenting their forced relocation in a way that feels both intimate and heartbreaking. You really feel the weight of their 6,000-year culture being dismantled. The pacing is deliberate, letting moments linger—like the silence after a cultural loss—making it all the more impactful. The interviews are striking, lending a voice to despair and resilience. It's fascinating how Walker uses practical effects to reflect the stark landscape of Davis Inlet, contrasting it with the vibrant past of the Innu. There's a depth here not often seen in documentaries, making it stand out.
