A short and powerful tribute to Kahnawake Mohawk farmer Louis Diabo's struggle to save his farm and community from destruction during the building of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Flat Rocks weaves together breathtaking present-day footage of Kahnawake with archival photos dating back over 80 years revealing the community’s way of life threatened by the Seaway. A poetic narration in the Kanien’kéha (Mohawk) language voices the community’s connection to the water.
