We will be watching a dystopian horror film called 'Night Raiders' which features the work of Cree Métis writer and director, Danis Goulet. This thriller delves into Canada's history of residential schools and assimilation of Indigenous children by following the futuristic story of a Cree daughter forcibly taken away from her mother to join a forced-education camp. Luckily, her mother joins a group of Cree vigilantes. Is she able to get her daughter back? Join us to find out!
