In a post-apocalyptic world with food scarcity, a Black & Indigenous family of Canadian farmers descended from American Civil War migrants defend their homestead against cannibals trying to seize their resources. πΎπ₯
"The conversation in this film is really about food insecurity, land, sovereignty and the two cultures that have experienced the most colonial trauma in history are Black & Indigenous communities," β Director R.T. Thorne (

Do we need more films like this centering land, survival, and family through a Black & Indigenous lens? π‡οΈ
