Description:

CAPTIVE documents the life of Esther Wheelwright, an ancestor of the filmmaker who was abducted as a child by the Abenaki people in 1703 and taken from New England to Québec. Esther converted to Catholicism after being raised as a Puritan and refused to return to her family, instead becoming an Urseline nun. Her achievements were considerable, including becoming Mother Superior of her Order, fighting for women's education, burying General Montcalm, and helping to ensure the survival of the French Canadian people and the Catholic Church after the British conquered in 1759. <48mn>
