A short musical film that imagines the experience of a teacher and students who witnessed the great fire at the Quaker Oats factory in 1916 from their classroom at King George Public School in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Years later, ghosts of memories appear for an older man who vows peace. It features musical performances by singers Marsala Lukianchuk, Rob Fortin and a cast of children.
