OBLITERATION, is set in Northern Ontario in the fictional town of Matamiskin, troubled teen Ben Thomson experiences the pain of growing up in an isolated rural village where ignorance, racism and violence threaten the most vulnerable—indigenous and white.
Ben's personal story takes place amidst an environmental war between the mostly Ojibwa on one side, and the predominantly white loggings interests on the other. The traditional lands of the Ojibwa under threat, their leaders plead their case for land protection in Ontario's highest courts. At stake is 7,000 years of indigenous occupation and history.
