We talk to Indigenous Directors Nyla Innuksuk (Slash/Back) and Danis Goulet (Night Raiders) about using horror, science-fiction and fantasy to tell authentic, unique stories about the Indigenous experience.

We explore how genre provides many opportunities for Indigenous filmmakers to tell original, culturally-relevant stories, how horror, science-fiction, and fantasy are already an important part of the Indigenous storytelling tradition, and how, despite a legacy of generational trauma, Indigenous filmmakers are imagining a future in which their community not only survives, but thrives.

Night Raiders is available to watch on Crave, TIFF Digital, and VOD. Slash/Back is available to watch in theatres, on TIFF Digital, and on VOD.
