World Premiere

The Spence brothers, Adam (Adam Beach, HEY VIKTOR!, CIFF 2023) and Ryan (Simon Baker, HEY VIKTOR!, CIFF 2023), whose every action is motivated by their financial interests, are waiting for their sick father, William, to die so they can purchase the restaurant business using their fathers' inheritance. Upon William's death, the brothers discover that William gave away his inheritance to the indigenous people of Bird — a rural hamlet in Northern Canada. The only way the brothers could get his wealth back was to convince the Chief of the band, Ed Whitford, to disclaim the estate. Thus, the brothers embark on a journey to the remote and rural hamlet in Northern Canada with little expectations of the adventures they would encounter that would set events beyond their control in motion.

Award-winning Fort McMurray-based director Sanjay Patel returns with his exciting second feature. Passionate about using the power of film as a tool for social change, Patel is the founder of Dim Light Pictures, a film production company dedicated to telling socially relevant stories.
