April 30: The Lesser Blessed
Runtime: 86 min

“A drama centered on a First Nations teenager trying to find his place in the modern world.”  (IMDB.com)

“A teenager living in a small, remote community in Canada deals with life as a high school student. Larry's (Joel Nathan Evans) life is full of too many parties, too much drinking, and not enough responsibility or independence.[3]The film explores several typical teen issues, such as alienation and the search for one's own identity, but in this case from the perspective of a Tlicho Indian who struggles between his Native ancestry and finding his place in to the modern world.”  (Wikipedia.com)
