Blood Quantum (2019)

Die Zombie-Apokalypse hat die Menschen in Amerika dahingerafft - wie durch ein Wunder bleiben die indianischen Ureinwohner verschont: Sie sind immun gegen das Virus. Und müssen nun jeden Tag aufs Neue die Entscheidung auf Leben und Tod treffen, wem sie bei sich Zuflucht gewähren wollen, wen sie zu sich in ihre Festung im Red-River-Reservat aufnehmen. Lange kann das nicht gutgehen: Der Druck von draußen durch die hungrigen Untoten vergrößert sich, bald schon beginnt das Gemetzel.

Wissenswertes

Blood Quantum is a 2019 Canadian horror film written, directed, and edited by Jeff Barnaby and starring Michael Greyeyes, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, Forrest Goodluck, Kiowa Gordon, Brandon Oakes, Olivia Scriven, Kawennáhere Devery Jacobs, and Gary Farmer. The film depicts the effects of a zombie uprising on a First Nations reserve whose residents are immune to contracting the plague because of their indigenous genetics, but must still cope with the consequences of its effects on the world around them, including white refugees seeking shelter on the reserve.

Production

Blood Quantum was filmed in 2018, primarily at the Kahnawake and Listuguj reserves in Quebec. Additional footage was shot in the city of Campbellton, New Brunswick.

The film's title refers to blood quantum laws, which have been used in the United States and Canada to determine indigeneity based on the percentage of one's indigenous ancestry. Barnaby has described the film as a commentary on colonialism.

The film is deliberately set in 1981, the same year of the Listuguj raids, in which a group of game wardens, fisheries officers and Quebec Provincial Police officers raided Listuguj, arresting and beating many of its members and confiscating their fishing equipment. Members who were not incarcerated erected barricades, and a second raid by the authorities was conducted in retaliation.
