Dance Me Outside

Dance Me Outside (1995)

Explores the sensitive, and tense, relationship between life on an First Nations reservation and life in the outside world. When Native Canadian Silas Crow is forced to write a personal essay in order to get a much-desired job, he tells the story of the rape and murder of an Indian girl by a drunken thug. When the killer received a lenient two-year sentence for manslaughter, the First Nations community felt shock and anger—and tried desperately to deal with the after-effects of this lack of justice.

Curiosidades

Dance Me Outside is a 1994 Canadian drama film, directed by Bruce McDonald. It was based on the book Dance Me Outside by W.P. Kinsella.

Production

Dance Me Outside was the first acting role for Dillon, who was previously known as a rock singer. He later starred in McDonald's Hard Core Logo, and has since gone on to become an acclaimed actor in television series such as Durham County and Flashpoint.

The rock band Leslie Spit Treeo and singer-songwriter Vern Cheechoo appeared in the film, performing in concert at the reserve's community hall, "The Blue Quill Hall". Blue Quill is a borrowed name of a community in W.P. Kinsella's hometown of Edmonton.

The film was shot primarily on the Shawanaga and Wasauksing First Nations reserves near Parry Sound, with a small amount of location shooting in Parry Sound.
