Night Runners

Short Film/Society, Canada 2005

When night falls, young Atikamekw runners reclaim the road, turning movement into freedom and connection.

No longer able to hunt their prey the way their ancestors did, the young Wemotaci have become night runners through the deserted village. And can they ever run! They run for fun or just to exhaust themselves—until the police go after them. A fresh and lively filmmaking feat. This short film is part of the Wapikoni collection, showcasing the diverse voices, stories and perspectives of Indigenous filmmakers from across Canada.
