A documentary about a hidden story of Canadian history: The one of Angelique, a Black slave accused of burning Montreal in 1734. After an epic trial, Angelique is tortured and sentenced to death. But was she really guilty or was she the victim of a bigger conspiracy? Why this voluntary amnesia about this unknown page of history? The film includes interviews with historians who not only talk about Angelique but also about this general refusal to admit that slavery is part of Canadian history. Also, some key scenes of Angelique's existence are illustrated by reenactments played by professional actors.
