Night Raiders (2021)
Set in a dystopian North America in the year 2044, Night Raiders centres on a Cree woman named Niska (multiple award-winning Blackfoot and Sámi filmmaker and actress from the Kainai First Nation, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers), who joins an underground band of vigilantes in a bid to save her daughter from the military government.
Executive produced by Taika Waititi, the Canadian-New Zealand film is the debut feature film from Cree-Métis writer-director Danis Goulet, who won the Emerging Talent Award at the Toronto International Film Festival for Night Raiders. The film has won numerous awards on the festival circuit, including six wins at the 2022 Canadian Screen Awards.
The film’s cast includes Emmy winner Amanda Plummer (The Fisher King, Pulp Fiction) and New Zealand actor Alex Tarrant (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power).
Night Raiders has an 84% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus says, “Night Raiders strikes grim parallels between its dystopian setting and the present, offering a disturbing reminder that the horrors of the past are often very much still with us.”
