Expanding themes developed in his earlier shorts, debut feature filmmaker Wayne Wapeemukwa’s boldly made, partly improvised, drama is set against the backdrop of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The film features the stories of struggling single mother and sex worker Angel Gates (herself), indigenous addict Mark (Joe Dion Buffalo) and ‘roller girl’ Angela Dawson (herself), who is struggling with mental health issues. Their stories weave together, raising uneasy questions about marginalised people.
