Faced with an infectious outbreak, the tight-knit indigenous Red Crow community must move swiftly to confront a looming zombie apocalypse. But the tables are turned on colonialism when Native immunity to the virus leads settlers to seek sanctuary on the reservation. A fresh spin on the zombie genre, Mi’gMaq filmmaker Jeff Barnaby inverts and interrogates the historical indignities of 18th century laws that limited Native civil rights whilst delivering an action-packed blood-soaked zombie epic.

From Cherry English

Canada | 2004 | 11’ | adv18 | Jeff Barnaby | Nathaniel Arcand

Traylor, a Mi’gMaq man being pulled between two worlds, meets a non-native woman who sends him on a hallucinogenic journey of masochism and self-discovery. This award-winning debut from Jeff Barnaby is a surrealist allegory about the loss of language and identity in modern day Canada.
