Still Water

Tangaaq Eloqout lives in the small and depressed native reservation of Chikawai. His life, one of which is already characterized by abuse and loss, takes a sharp turn after he survives a drive by shooting on his street. When he's come to the realization of what had just happened, he takes off, never looking back. After hitching a ride with a Canadian truck driver, he experiences life for the first time off of his reservation in 16 years.
