BWFF: Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Part of the Third Annual Birks Wilderness Film Festival.

Raised on hip-hop and foster care, defiant city kid Ricky gets a fresh start in the New Zealand countryside. He quickly finds himself at home with his new foster family: the loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous Uncle Hec, and dog Tupac. When a tragedy strikes that threatens to ship Ricky to another home, both he and Hec go on the run in the bush. As a national manhunt ensues, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family.

This screening will be preceded by 'Butterfly'. A short provided by Glasgow Short Film Festival.

This event is supported by the Heartland Film Society.
