In her latest meditation on postcolonial identity, Claire Denis travels to the border of French Guyana and Suriname where African descendants of escaped slaves have established a tribal community and are now at risk of being pushed off the land. She and one of her actors seek out a gold miner who is a leader within the community and a potential subject for her next feature film.
