Blood Quantum

Sharing is caring!

This week’s episode looks at 2019 Mi’kmaq horror film Blood Quantum by director and writer Jeff Barnaby. The movie takes the zombie trope and uses it as a pointed exploration of many of the social-political issues faced by the peoples of Canada’s First Nation (and most certainly also seen by the United State’s Native Americans.) It’s a deft creation sometimes marred by its script and acting, but which still manages to carry a powerful message.
