Synopsis
Warchild is part of a trilogy of experimental documentaries done on students from South East Collegiate, a boarding school in Winnipeg for Aboriginal youth coming from Northern Manitoba.
Recalling the esthetic of traditional Japanese cinema this short film portrays a young solitary figure seeking his place in society. His journey from the North to the city encapsulates his struggle to become a responsible adult and seek serenity.
