From the DVD jacket cover:

‘This is the story of a place where the rocks reach to the heavens. Where the prairie stretches out like an endless sea - and waves of wheat dance on the wind. Where great forests blanket the north below lights that flow like ribbons across the sky. This is a story of people - those who have walked here for thousands of years and those who made their way looking for a better land. This is a story of spirit, of determination and hard work - of freedom and prosperity - of adventure and passion. This is a story of Alberta… its places, its people and its soul.'
