Wakening

The story unfolds in a near-future world where environmental destruction has led to a harsh military occupation. The protagonist, Wesakechak, embarks on a perilous journey through an urban war zone. His goal is to locate the ancient and dangerous Weetigo, a figure central to his struggle against the oppressive forces that dominate society.

With a focus on themes of survival and resistance, "Wakening" offers a unique perspective on the intersection of indigenous mythology and speculative fiction. The performances by Sarah Podemski and Gail Maurice further enhance the film's exploration of cultural identity and resilience in the face of adversity.
