In a world where people possess magical abilities, a young girl with the power to heal calls on the Creator to grant her the strength to save her sick grandmother. Instead she attracts a shapeshifter.
Indigenous filmmaker Sonya Ballantyne (Swampy Cree, MB) has always been drawn to the stories of superheroes because she sees parallels between their stories and the experiences of Indigenous people. Drawing inspiration from Superman and Batman, Ballantyne has created short films that feature female First Nations characters with superpowers.
"Crash Site" is another of her short fiction superhero productions available to you here in Core.
