Warchild
(experimental documentary, 5 min.)
Directed by Caroline Monnet
Synopsis
On a solitary portage between the barren wilderness and a desolate city, a young man reflects on his troubled past and hopeful future. Honest, thoughtful and personal narration illuminates a survivor’s state of mind that seeks serenity, while a background drumbeat accelerates the pace of this starkly resilient, black and white cinematic portrait. (Alex Rogalski, TIFF). Warchild is part of a Trilogy of experimental documentary done on South East Collegiate students. South East is a boarding school in Winnipeg for Aboriginal youth coming from the North.
