One is a sixteen- year-old girl froma very poor family, who has been forced from their home by the flooding that accompanied the building of the dam. The other is a nineteen-year-old boy, froma more prosperous family, whose experience is quite different. Despite the exotic setting, the larger themes of the filmare ones that many people in our area can relate to: the transition from a farming-based economy to one based on consumer capitalism, the double-edged sword of progress, and the destruction of known to many people in the community. They will all have been through multiple rehearsals with the writer/director of the play, Sandy Hatfield, whose “Doc” McCoy Murder Mystery Productions have been seen bymany audiences over 30 years, in a variety of locations throughout the Laurentians, Ottawa, West Island and Montreal.
