Viewing Notes
Hell of a film. Tackles issues that run rampant in many First Nations communities in Canada. This film is made better by a terrific lead performance by Cara Gee. She wears her heart on her sleeve and just goes for it in her role. I’ll write a full review. For now, highly recommend it if you get the chance.
