Dark Winds and Blood Quantum actor Kiowa Gordon and Sera-Lys McArthur (Café Daughter, Outlander) have joined the cast of Many Wounds, a contemporary re-imagining of Lee Tamahori’s ground-breaking 1994 Maori film Once Were Warriors, set among indigenous communities in Canada.
Skye Pelletier (Prey) stars in Many Wounds as Mashka, a young teenager on the cusp of being swallowed up by a colonial system meant to further the goals of assimilation who becomes a warrior to protect his family.
Ojibway filmmaker Jeremy Torrie, who wrote and is directing Many Wounds, and producing the film together with Métis producer Tanya Brunel, said he drew on his own personal, painful experiences growing up indigenous in Winnipeg for the script.
“Our intention with this film is to reveal some uncomfortable truths about the effects of generations of forced assimilation and genocide by the Canadian government toward our peoples for a society largely unaware of how deep the wounds go,...

It’s time for a new kind of superhero.
In “Evil Fire” (“Macîskotêw”) – an upcoming thriller presented at Frontières’ Forum – Kîsik gains the power to set things on fire with her mind after seeing a mysterious green light in the sky.
Seeking information on her mother and other missing Indigenous women, she uncovers a disturbing conspiracy with her new girlfriend Jackie.
Anne-Marie Gélinas and Sera-Lys McArthur produce for EMAfilms, behind 2015’s “Turbo Kid,” the breakout Sundance hit of Canadian cult trio Rkss, and Fanning Feathers.
“I hope now is the right time for this film,” says director Theo Jean Cuthand. “Macîskotêw” is set to shoot in the late spring 2024.
“The issue of missing and murdered women, girls and two-spirits has been building for years. The fact that we are still fighting with the government to even search for the bodies means that people need to listen. People need to care.

Don’t Say Its Name begins in a familiar enough manner. Kharis (Sheena Kaine) walks home alone on a dark woodland road when something starts following her. Only this creature is metal, a heavy-duty pickup, its engine roaring as it charges at her. Her body will be found the next day, struck down, dragged and left to die. Not long after, a surveyor is attacked and killed in the woods. They won’t be the last to die.
Coal company Wec has closed a deal to strip mine tribal land. Kharis was an outspoken opponent of their plans and her death is believed to be their doing. Was the death of their surveyor retribution for hers? Or is something more primal turning the snow red? That’s what local sheriff Mary...

Originating on CBC in Canada, Burden of Truth has become a staple of The CW's summer schedule in the United States. The series draws pretty low ratings but, because the network only licenses the series, it likely doesn't cost them as much to air. Will Burden of Truth be cancelled or renewed for season four?

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Providence,” the 12th episode of “Outlander” Season 4.
There were two competing narratives on “Outlander” this week — one that was largely invented for the show but was a very clever way to keep a certain character involved, and another that was also changed a bit from the novel, causing it to feel like a shameless play at the viewers’ emotions. Let’s dig into the clever one first.
In Wilmington, Fergus (Cesar Domboy) informed the Regulators of Murtagh’s (Duncan Lacroix) capture by the Red Coats. They quickly realized that Murtagh won’t be granted a fair trial — he’ll be hanged to send a message to the other Regulators. So it’s scheming time because the men need to break him out of jail before he is executed.
Meanwhile, in a plot that ended up dovetailing nicely with Murtagh’s imprisonment,...
