Executive Produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker Taika Waititi, the Indigenous sci-fi thriller NIGHT RAIDERS marks the feature film directorial debut from award-winning Saskatchewan-born Cree/Métis writer/director, Danis Goulet (Wakening, Barefoot). The film stars Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open, Blood Quantum), Brooklyn Letexier-Hart (Burden of Truth), New Zealand’s Alex Tarrant (Seachange, When We Go to War), Shaun Sipos (Krypton, Dark Matter), and Emmy and Tony Award-winning Amanda Plummer (Hunger Games, Pulp Fiction).
The year is 2043. A military occupation controls disenfranchised cities in post-war North America. Children are property of the State. A desperate Cree woman joins an underground band of vigilantes to infiltrate a State children's academy and get her daughter back. Night Raiders is a female-driven dystopian drama about resilience, courage and love.
