Experience the World Premiere of ‘Strife’ from April 7- 26, 2026.

Monique, a tough and tenacious oil patch worker, is reeling from the brutal murder of her brother Nathan, an Indigenous climate activist. His violent death leaves Monique at a crossroads: trust the justice system or take action herself.

Tense, poetic, and deeply visceral, ‘Strife’ is a powerful reflection on loss, resilience, and the battle between hope and vengeance.
