The second feature film by Quebecois director Chloé Leriche, Soleils Atikamekw (Atikamekw Suns) portrays the profound intergenerational pain of the Atikamekw community in Manawan, Quebec. The film’s delicate aesthetics and careful formal work are not intended to sugarcoat the film, but rather to testify the strength and beauty of a community that, though destroyed, attempts to rebuild its memory.
