Synopsis: Red Crow Mi’gMaq reservation, 1976: By government decree, every Indian child under the age of 18 must attend residential school. In the kingdom of the crow, that means imprisonment at St. Dymphna’s. That means being at the mercy of Popper (Mark Antony Krupa), the sadistic Indian agent who runs the school.
At 15, Aila (Kawennáhere Devery Jacobs) is the weed princess
of Red Crow. Hustling with her uncle Burner (Brandon Oakes), she sells enough
dope to pay Popper her truancy tax, keeping her out of St.Ds. But when Aila’s
drug money is stolen and her father Joseph (Glen Gould) returns from prison,
the precarious balance of Aila’s world is destroyed.
Her only options are to run or fight and Mi’gMaq don’t run.
