A young Black journalist, improbably named Mahatma, returns to Winnipeg to take a job at one of the local newspapers (this is the early ’80s, so the city has several of them). His timing is concurrent with social upheaval in the city—an anti-French language movement is causing riots, the communist mayor is taking heat from a rival paper because he may or may not be on a US watchlist due to his politics. And the news war between the multiple publications and TV/radio outlets is taking no prisoners. While the story seems to amble on from one crisis to the next, we see at the end how everything is truly connected.
