Explores the sensitive, and tense, relationship between life on an First Nations reservation and life in the outside world. When Native Canadian Silas Crow is forced to write a personal essay in order to get a much-desired job, he tells the story of the rape and murder of an Indian girl by a drunken thug. When the killer received a lenient two-year sentence for manslaughter, the First Nations community felt shock and anger—and tried desperately to deal with the after-effects of this lack of justice.

I wasn’t expecting to like it so much everyone is sooo fine in this movie especially Frank like- And it was actually really funny and the characters are cool. Love the romance between Kirk Hammett from Metallica and Bjork great chemistry never would’ve thought
