When Danis Goulet's "Night Raiders" opened across Canada in October it set a new record as the widest theatrical opening for an Indigenous film in the country with 80 locations.
Goulet has described the film as inspired in part by Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film Children of Men, as well as by the military response to the Dakota Access Pipeline protests on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in 2016.
This film functions in part as an allegory for the Indian residential school system, a network of boarding schools for Indigenous peoples. Attendance was mandatory.
The film as inspired in part by Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film "Children of Men".
Although the movie got released to a much higher than average number of theaters in Canada than what the typical Canadian movie gets, for some reason, distributor Elevation Pictures decided to put very little towards marketing the movie to the Canadian public. As a result, the movie did very badly at the box office, and it was gone from most theaters after just two weeks.
