Wildfire

Directed by Bretten Hannam

Stalked by his abusive white father, a rebellious Mi'kmaw runaway meets a two-spirit teenager drawn to his journey. As he learns Mi'kmaw language and culture from his new companion a deeper bond begins to grow between them.
Adapted into the feature-length movie 'Wildhood (2021)'.

This film is not currently available to watch online. It may be awaiting release or may no longer be available on any known streaming service.

You can already see the feature film hiding inside these twelve minutes. Wildfire introduces a Two-Spirit Mi’kmaq teenager, a stolen vehicle and a restless search for a mother, then races through material that clearly wants more space. Bretten Hannam’s short film is rougher and more compressed than Wildhood, but the performances, landscape photography and sense of young people pushing against inherited expectations are already firmly in place.
