Luk’Luk’I

Feature · 2017 · 86 min

On the morning of the 2010 Winter Olympics, five marginalized residents of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside drift through a city remaking itself around them.

Wapeemukwa’s debut feature braids documentary and fiction, casting non-professional actors as versions of themselves in a hallucinatory portrait of survival, dignity, and dispossession at the edge of the Games.
