Innu poet Joséphine Bacon fights against the disappearance of her mother tongue

"Wild means to be entirely free," says Josephine Bacon. When the elders leave us, a link with the past disappears. The Innu poetess embodies this generation, a witness to an era that will soon be over. With charisma and sensitivity, Joséphine Bacon leads a fight against oblivion and the disappearance of a language, a culture and its traditions. Following in the footsteps of Papakassik, the master of the caribou, JE M'APPELLE HUMAIN (Call me human) offers an incursion into the history of a multi-millennial people alongside a free woman.
