Savage is a hard-hitting documentary that explores both a quest for identity and the wills of three generations of Quebec aboriginals seeking to forge a place for themselves in today's world. Through a cross-section of characters who share only a refusal to dwell on the negative - from members of the Huron tribe in Wendake to the Cree in Ouje-Bougoumou, by way of the Malecites from Lower Saint-Laurent and the Attikamek from Wemontaci - Savage draws us into the intimate world of a handful of Quebec Natives eager to find a voice that will show the world they exist and, more than anything, deserve to be treated as equals, as brothers, not as victims condemned to extinction.
