1 tape, 4 filmmakers, and 42 days on the road in Western Canada.

A road movie about one topic, a look at the history of the parody reservation radio broadcast tape "Brocket 99" and the attitudes of people towards the tape and the issues raise by the"humour" present within it.

Over 42 days this past summer we set out to talk to people about the tape to show the fabulous geography composing Western, the land these people share. Our journey took us from British Columbia through to Saskatchewan and ultimately the bulk of photography occurred in Southern Alberta where the controversial tape was created.

The tape allowed us to meet a variety of different people all linked by mainly one thing, having heard or heard-of the tape. This provided the perfect vehicle to delve into a broader discussion.

The film endeavors to open a no-holds barred discussion when it comes to the relationship between Aboriginals and non-Aborginals in Canada. We feel that there has been a lack of person-to-person communication between us and them. Instead our relationship has been through academics and politicians on both sides.

It is time for people to speak and to be heard, real people with real joy, real pain, and real lives. Group speak has been polarizing us both here and abroad and we are forgetting that individuals are affected by group policy. This is not investigative journalism, there is no hero and no villain, just a conversation. Sometimes light sometimes heavy but always interesting.

The film takes us from Kamloops, to the Stampede, through parts of central and northern Alberta, Saskatchewan, the South Country Fair in Fort MacLeod, Lethbridge, Cardston, Stand-Off, Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Waterton National Park, Frank Slide, Pincher Creek, and finally we conclude at the townsite of Brocket on the Piikani Nation Reserve.

We as filmmakers felt that there was a great need to travel around to not only show that the tape has been heard by a variety of people but also to show the land that is an integral part of the lives of everyone. It is also the land that ultimately is the most contentious issue between Canadians and Aboriginals.

The hope of the film is that we can engage people through the stunning photography and candid interviews to start to discuss the aboriginal situation in Canada not in terms of a large group that must be dealt with but as people. We feel that if we see each other as people and start acting considerate of each other as individuals with different wants and needs that this grass roots perspective will be reflected in the action of our leaders.

Hopefully these actions will be lead to a better relationship where we do not deal with each other but work together for a better country as a whole. Fairly idealistic but it is an ideal time.
