NIKA & MADISON

Written and directed by Eva Thomas

Co-written by Michael McGowan

Starring Ellyn Jade, Star Slade, Amanda Brugel 

Genre: Drama 

In this tense and emotionally charged story, two childhood friends find themselves testing their resilience and loyalty in an ultimate fight for justice. Madison, a University of Toronto student, is sharp and career focused while Nika prefers the solitude and simplicity of life on the reservation. During a weekend back home, Nika rescues Madison from a sexual assault by policeman, but the violent encounter leaves the
officer critically injured. Fearing they won’t be believed, the Indigenous women go on the run; first seeking 
refuge on the reserve and then deep into the wilderness, until they’re chased back to the city. Two sharp-eyed detectives begin to uncover the truth but when the case involves one of their own, the justice system reveals its deeply ingrained biases, blurring the lines between right and wrong.
