Watch UK Trailer For Bretten Hannam’s lyrical Wildhood
Escaping the troubles of life heading on the road can be a momentous life affirming journey. Like in Brian Hannam‘s Wildhood, today Peccadillo Pictures release the lyrical UK Trailer.
In a rural east-coast trailer park, Link (Phillip Lewitski) lives with his toxic father and younger half-brother Travis (Avery Winters-Anthony). When Link discovers his Mi’kmaw mother could still be alive, it lights a flame and they make a run for a better life.
On the road, they meet Pasmay (Joshua Odjick), a powwow dancer drawn to Link. As the pair journey across Mi’kma’ki, Link finds community, identity, and love in the land where he belongs.
Hannam himself called his film a story ripped from the scars of his own youth. His three decades reconnecting, reclaiming, and healing, reflects our collective need for adventure. Building community, fighting for our freedoms, and healing through reconnecting with the land…
Escaping an abusive father with his younger half-brother in tow, the rebellious Link (Philip Lewitski) flees his trailer park home in search of his mother and a fresh start. On the way he meets Pasmay (Joshua Odjick), an indigenous two-spirit teenager who joins them as they travel across Mi’kmaq territory in rural Nova Scotia. As a close bond begins to form with Pasmay, Link learns to come to terms with his own complex heritage, racial identity and sexuality. Beautifully shot in stunning eastern Canada locations, Bretten Hannam’s finely crafted film is a critically acclaimed and sensitively observed tale of first love and self-acceptance.
Wildhood also stars Michael Greyeyes, Steve Lund, Joel Thomas Hynes, Avery Winters-Anthony, and Savonna Spracklin. You can watch the film in UK and Irish cinemas and on demand from 2nd September.
