Synopsis
Between 1926-1945, 400 people called Reesor, Ontario home. Now, all that remains is a pile of stone.
Surrounded by wilderness, alone in the bush, how do you build a home? For those that survived, the memories are like heaven on earth.
Reesor, the true story of a lost utopian paradise in the Boreal Forest. (2007 Toronto Fringe Festival Program)
