Canadian filmmaker Noam Gonick (HEY, HAPPY!) unleashes an entertaining and disturbing gang warfare saga with a difference. Stryker (Kyle Henry), a 14-year-old Native American arsonist, flees his northern reservation and lands in the midst of a brutal turf war between rival gangs in Winnipeg, home of one of the world’s largest urban Aboriginal populations. While Gonick never shies away from the brutal realities of drug abuse, poverty and violence, STRYKER is also a bizarre and darkly comic tale with the energy of a classic spaghetti western.
