Night Raiders (Netflix)

‘Night Raiders,’ the sci-fi thriller film, invites the viewers on an adventure in a dystopian future that parallels the cruelties of the past. In a world where the government mandates for children to be taken away from their families and raised as military, the narrative follows Niska, a single mother, and her young daughter, Waseese.  Despite Niska’s best attempts, she loses her daughter to the authorities.  Yet after discovering a secretive vigilante rebellion group on a mission to save as many children as possible, hope rekindles for Niska, who might just rescue her daughter from a brutal regime.

Cree storyline is excellent

The film maintains an engaging storyline that focuses on the raw emotional dynamic between Niska and Waseese and their unfortunate predicaments. Consequently, viewers must be curious to know how the tale ends for the mother-daughter duo. REVIEW:  https://thecinemaholic.com/native-american-movies-on-netflix/
