Où rougissent les coquelicots est le portrait émouvant d’un soldat et de sa communauté durant la Grande Guerre. Ce drame-documentaire de 30 minutes tire son titre du poème de John McRae dans les champs de Flandre et il introduit l’histoire de la réunion de 1921 a Port-Arthur, Ontario, lorsque le coquelicot a été désigné comme un symbole international ou de commémoration. Alfred Saxberg a été l’un premiers Canadiens d’origine finlandaise de sa génération à rejoindre le 52eme bataillon en 1915 et, chanceux, il est revenu chez lui en 1919. Le film suit Alfred quand il est mobilisé, quand il est entrainé et quand il part sur le champ de bataille en Europe. On revient au Lakehead où les membres de sa famille, restés au pays, envoient des marques de soutien, même s’ils ont eux-mêmes fait des sacrifices et connu leurs propres tragédies.
