Stryker

"Defiant" -A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Winnipeg is Burning! The Indian Posse is sizing up their latest 'Stryker' (wannabe thug) - a silent fourteen year-old arsonist who torches a church before ditching his reservation. The IP's leader, Mama Ceece, a sh*t-talking diesel dyke, is in a fierce turf war with Omar - a tattooed, mixed blood ex-tripper who runs the Asian Bomb Squad and the North End neighborhood in this two-spirited urban street movie that "...imbues Native marginality with a Wagnerian sweep." - Eddie Cockrell, MOMA.

With a throbbing aboriginal hip-hop soundtrack and raw performances by kids from the 'hood, Noam Gonick and renowned cinematographer Ed Lachman (Ken Park, Far From Heaven) tell an urgent story of power, sex, race, and Native youth fighting back. Premiered at the 61st Venice Film Festival.
