TRIVIA

Trivia

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.

The film as inspired in part by Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film "Children of Men".

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.

One theory that has been brought up to possibly explain the movie's box office failure was that it alienated both First Nations people and non-First Nations people, with First Nations people not wanting to see another story concerning them being victims, and non-First Nations people not wanting to be reminded that their ancestors inflicted many great injustices towards First Nations people.
